A: "I'll have the report ready for review tonight. Will you be able to look at it tomorrow?" B: "I'm not going to be in the office tomorrow. Can you email it to me? I'll look at it from home." A: "Sure. What's your email address?" B: "It is someone@hotmail.com." A: "The file is pretty big. Will the email allow me to send a file that big?" B: "If it is under one mega byte, you shouldn't have a problem." A: "I don't think it's that big. I'll send it tonight. Just get back to me when you finish the review tomorrow." B: "Ok. I should be done with it by noon." A: "That would be great. Thanks."
