A: Sandy, can you help me contact these people?

B: Sure, what do you want me to tell them?

A: Well, I need to confirm the time of their classes.

B: Ok, where can I find their phone numbers?

A: They are all listed here on this sheet of paper.

B: Is it their home, office or cell phone number?

A: Unless it’s marked differently, it’s their home numbers.

B: Alright. What if I can’t get a hold of them by phone?

A: Then, you should e-mail them with the information.

B: Where can I find their e-mail addresses?

A: They should have then listed on their resumes.

B: And if there aren’t any e-mail addresses?

A: Then send them a SMS on their cell phone.

B: Ok. That sounds easy enough. Have you called any of them yet?

A: Yes. I called the first three people on the list, but they didn’t pick up.

B: Did you leave a voice message?

A: I left a voice message on one---just for the first person on the list.

B: I see. What did you tell her?

A: I told her that she should call me back at my office number.

B: Ok, so, maybe I should call her again.

A: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. She might not get the other message in time.

B: Alright. Thanks a lot. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.
