Hi Irini Hope you're well. Just a quick note to let you know I'm aiming to arrive at Watermans around 12 on Saturday. I hope to interview Garrett Lynch at around 1pm. Could you let me know, please, when (if!) you have some free time at any point during the weekend for an interview?
I could arrive earlier on Saturday if that would be easier for you, or on Sunday if that's best. Please let me know what you think. And could you please tell me who I should ask for when I arrive? Look forward to meeting you!
