Hi …

I hope you’re having a good week. Do you have new ideas about our discussion topic last week?

This matter is quite urgent because we have an investigator meeting this week, and we need to deliver a clear message to them, so that there won’t be any misunderstandings.

Should I go ahead and tell them that …. during the meeting? Please tell me if you agree or if you have anything else to add.

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to support me.
