Apologies and new date May 11, 2006

Hi,
Please accept my apologies, I had to postpone the POW WOW event in Tokyo. Here is the message I sent:

Dear all,

I am very sorry for the lack of updates - due to the Golden Week national holiday I was delayed in negotiating with the restaurant and it has simply proved too difficult for a number of reasons.

BUT - I am determined to hold a successful event so I hope you will forgive me and understand if I postpone to June, which gives me more time to set up

Hi,
Please accept my apologies, I had to postpone the POW WOW event in Tokyo. Here is the message I sent:

Dear all,

I am very sorry for the lack of updates - due to the Golden Week national holiday I was delayed in negotiating with the restaurant and it has simply proved too difficult for a number of reasons.

BUT - I am determined to hold a successful event so I hope you will forgive me and understand if I postpone to June, which gives me more time to set up a good arrangement.

I would prefer to postpone and make a great event, rather than settle for now when things aren't perfect. I have held these events before, so I have a good idea of what is required.

I'd like you to please clear this date in your diary:

Sunday June 18th 2-5pm

And I will do the rest. I will promise to keep you all updated.

Also one more thing - I appreciate all of your interest but some of your profiles are very blank and I would like to know something about the people coming before I arrange the event.

So, with respect, I would like those who wish to come to:

1. Briefly introduce yourself and the work you do
2. Tell me any ideas/suggestions for the event
3. Let me know if you'd like to continue networking in Tokyo on a regular basis

Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions. I am confident I can tell you the venue by the end of next week.

Thanks
Richard
