Question

John Shipman is organising negotiations. He wants Phillip Lux to be pres-ent. Read the exchange of faxes and write in when they were sent 1. 21 st May, 10 am 2. 21 st May, 3.30 pm 3. 22nd May, 11 am Then write in the sender's and receiver's names. a) Time / Date Dear Sorry to hear about Friday. But don't worry, Saturday lunch would be fine. I've been in touch with Kazoo and Tony and they would love to see you then. Could you come to my office at 11 o'clock on Saturday morning? We need to talk about the sales report. We could have a couple of hours to go over some papers, and then have lunch in the Crown at about 1.00. How does that sound? If I don't hear from you, I'll assume that everything is OK. Hope to see you on Saturday. b) Time/Date To: Are you still OK for Friday? Kazoo and Tony are coming, although they are going to be a little bit late - they said they would try and be here by 3.15. at the latest. Could you let me know by the weekend? I'll be on 023959. Yours, c) Time / Date Thank you for the fax. I'm sorry, but it looks as if Friday is going to be difficult. I've got some people coming over from Mexico and I promised to show them round the site that day - I'm afraid I can't get out of it. How long are Tony and Kazoo going to be with you for? If they are planning to stay for the weekend, I suggest that we all meet up for lunch on Saturday. Anyway - let me know.

Answer 2

To determine the timing of the faxes, let's analyze the content and references to specific dates and times:

Fax a) is a response to some previous communication. It mentions Friday, which indicates that the sender received a fax about Friday's plans. They propose meeting on Saturday at 11 o'clock in the sender's office to discuss the sales report, followed by lunch at 1:00 PM at the Crown.

Fax b) is a response to a previous communication. It asks if the recipient is still available on Friday and mentions that Kazoo and Tony will be joining, although they might be a little late, aiming to arrive by 3:15 PM at the latest. The sender asks for confirmation by the weekend.

Fax c) is a response to a previous fax. It expresses gratitude for the received fax but explains that Friday is not feasible due to some commitments with visitors from Mexico. The sender suggests meeting for lunch on Saturday and asks about the duration of Kazoo and Tony's visit.

Based on the content of the faxes, we can deduce the following timeline:

1. Fax c) was sent first, as it references the previously mentioned plans for Friday. The sender expresses inability to attend on that day and proposes meeting for lunch on Saturday. Therefore, Fax c) was likely sent before the other faxes.

2. Fax b) is a response to the fax mentioned in Fax c). It asks for confirmation about the availability on Friday and mentions the expected arrival time of Kazoo and Tony. Therefore, Fax b) was sent after Fax c).

3. Fax a) is a response to the faxes in Fax b) and Fax c). It acknowledges the difficulties of Friday mentioned in Fax c) and proposes a new plan for Saturday. Therefore, Fax a) was sent after both Fax b) and Fax c).

Based on this analysis, the faxes were likely sent in the following order:

1. Fax c) - Sent before the other faxes, but the exact date and time are not mentioned.
2. Fax b) - Sent after Fax c), requesting confirmation by the weekend.
3. Fax a) - Sent after Fax b) and Fax c), proposing the alternative plan for Saturday.

Unfortunately, the specific dates and times for each fax are not provided in the given information, so we cannot determine the exact timing.
