Subject: Workshops in May

Hi Carla

Two people in my department would like to participate in a workshop. The first is Mansoor Khan, one of our web designers. He wants to do the network workshop
but he’s away 16th–20th May. I hope there’s a place for him on the second day. The second person is me. I’d like to do the 14th May workshop as I’m away on the
15th and 16th. I did the website design last month and it was excellent.

Kind regards

Guy
