Senator Shenton - The Reply and my response

The reply from Senator Shenton is pasted below, aloing with my brief reply.

"Dear Senator Shenton

Thank you for your email.

Please can I kindly request that you respond in full by 8pm tomorrow, assuming that you will see Senator Perchard at the States Assembly tomorrow?

I am meeting a journalist from the BBC for Dinner tomorrow at 9pm. I would like to take this opportunity to invite Senator Perchard and yourself to join us.

Please let me know if you are available so that I can notify the restaurant that two more guests will also be dining with us.

Kind regards

Simon Bellwood
