Oral Business English Dialogue: Polite Questions Ask Politely.

A: Hello! This is maddox and mcknight's office.

Can I help you?

B: Yes.

My name is Max Richards. May I speak to Ji Nelson? I have called several times. I always seem to catch him when he is not in the office.

A: Oh

Sorry, Mr. Nelson is not in at the moment. I'm sorry, you can't find him when he is out of the office. Would you like to leave a message?

B: Sorry.

I didn't hear you clearly. Can you repeat that?

A: Of course. Mr. Nelson can't take your call now, because he is not in. He has been out of the office all afternoon and is not expected to come back until tomorrow morning. His schedule is sometimes difficult to predict.

So the best way to contact him is to make an appointment by email or SMS first.

B: Can I leave him a message?

A: Certainly.

Could you leave your name and number? I'm sure Mr. Nelson will call you back as soon as possible.
