Professional Practice: Exchanging Emails

We received an email from Rachel yesterday, in which she talked about the interview Ruby and I took had with her and Jeremy on the 25th.

Here is the email:

Dear Ruby and Sam

It was lovely to meet you yesterday; Jeremy and I are very excited about working with you both. It would be helpful to have your mobile phone numbers, if you are prepared to let us have them..? Mine is (...) and you are very welcome to phone or text me anytime.

You are a model of efficiency, thanks for sending through the dates you are unavailable so promptly. I have put them all in my calendar and I will work on the basis that all the other week days between now and the end of March you are free. The only date that you couldn't do that I really wished you could manage was 11 March. If you remember we have an event organised for that day involving our newly restored, hand-operated early 18th century, fire engine! We'd love one of you to take some footage of the event we've staged, as it involves one of the CONK schools. I phoned earlier and in Laura's absence spoke to Simon. She said it might be possible for something to be arranged that would allow one of you, possibly Sam, to come and work with us in the morning on 11 March. Not to worry if you can't make 11 March but if at all possible it would be great if one way or another some footage could be captured. May I leave it with you two to discuss this with Laura and come back to me next week?

At the moment I am working on sorting it out for you to film at the cathedral on 4 and/or 9 March, and then maybe in a school on 17 March. As you know we ideally want to get you to film at all the heritage sites so hoping there will be something we can capture at the Historic Dockyard and the Royal Engineers Museum. Anyway, perhaps we can catch up by phone or email on Monday?

Have great weekends both of you, best wishes

Rachel 
This is great news as it feels like the project is really getting underway now. 
In a separate email today she also responded by saying:
If you have any queries please get in touch via email or telephone today until 3pm, or, after that, via my mobile (...). Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you both here at the museum, this Wednesday, at 10am.
I followed this up with some questions that Ruby & I had been previously curious about regarding the film:

It looks like the first location we are filming in is the Cathedral so hopefully the shooting goes well on that day!
