Give the reader enough information to understand and respond.
The idea
Start with a greeting and state your purpose: Are you free on Saturday? For a meeting, give a place and time: Can we meet at the library at ten? If plans change, say what changed. Ask Please let me know if that works and finish with thanks or a suitable goodbye.
Examples
- Hi Alex, are you free on Saturday?
- Can we meet at the library at ten?
- Sorry, I will be ten minutes late.
- The meeting is now in room four.
- Please let me know if that works.
- Thanks! See you on Saturday.
