Read the telephone conversation between Karan and a hotel receptionist.
Karan : Good morning, ma’am. I’m Karan Anand from UNDP New Delhi. May I speak to
Ms Sharma?
Receptionist : Good morning, sir. May I know Ms Sharma’s full name?

Karan : Ms Sunita Sharma. She is an Outreach Officer with the UNDP local office.
Receptionist : Oh, yes, Ms Sunita Sharma, UNDP! I’m sorry, she is not in at the moment. She
has gone to a remote village. Can I take the message?

Karan : Yes, I thought so. I’ve tried her mobile phone, but it seems to be out of range.
This is regarding her letter recommending a name for a prestigious award.
The head office has asked for some more details about the person. This is
urgent. Please convey this message and request her to contact me as soon as
possible.

Receptionist : Yes, sir, sure. I’ll give Ms Sharma the message as soon as I can.

Karan : Thank you. Bye.
Receptionist : Bye.
