You:

Hi Daniela, do you have a minute to talk about next week's meeting?

Daniela:

Sure, go ahead. What did you have in mind?

You:

How about Tuesday at 9 a.m. my time?

Daniela:

Let me check. What time zone are you in?

You:

I'm in Japan, so that's JST.

Daniela:

Okay, let me convert that. I'm in Mexico City, so there's a big difference.

You:

Right, I forgot about that. Is 9 a.m. too early for you?

Daniela:

Yes, that's a bit early. That would be 7 p.m. here, the night before.

You:

Sorry about that! Can we shift the meeting by an hour or two?

Daniela:

Sure, how about 10 a.m. your time instead?

You:

Let me double-check. That's 8 p.m. for you, right?

Daniela:

Exactly, that works for me.

You:

Great, 10 a.m. sounds good on my end too.

Daniela:

Perfect. Can you send the calendar invite?

You:

Of course, I'll send it right after this.

Daniela:

Thanks so much. See you next Tuesday!
