It would be helpful, but is not essential, if you could notify me
beforehand if you're intending to attend (contact details below).
We hope that you are able to join us for one or all of the seminars. Please
can you circulate this e-mail to any colleagues within your organisation
who you think may be interested in attending.
Very best wishes
