TOEIC ETS

Franklin Smith (7:51 A.M.) Good morning, Josephine and Carl. Is either one of you at the office yet? My train is running late and I want to make sure everything is set up for our 8:30 A.M. workshop. Josephine Mallian (7:56 A.M.) I'm walking in now. What can I do to help, Franklin? Carl Domingo (7:57 A.M.) I'll be there in about ten minutes. Are you talking about the workshop in the Aster Room? Because there is another workshop taking place in Obell Hall too. Franklin Smith (7:59 A.M.) Yes, the one in the Aster Room—the Savvy Steel sales workshop. I would appreciate it if you would rearrange the seats into a circle, turn on the projector, and run through the presentation slides I sent last night, just to make sure that everything, including the audio, is working. Carl Domingo (8:02 A.M.) Got it. I actually set the chairs up last night. Josephine Mallian (8:04 A.M.) Thanks, Carl. Would you mind printing out fifteen copies of the agenda while I take care of the rest? Carl Domingo (8:05 A.M.) Sure. I'll get it done as soon as possible. Franklin Smith (8:07 A.M.) Thank you both. My train is arriving now. I think I'll make it in time. Josephine Mallian (8:08 A.M.) No problem, Franklin. We will also make sure there is plenty of coffee for you!

Why did Mr. Smith send the first message?
