Write a short, warm reply to [WHO YOU'RE EMAILING, e.g. a new client] who asked to set up [MEETING TYPE, e.g. a kickoff call]. Keep it to two or three sentences that sit above a list of available times. Thank them, say in one line what we'll cover ([WHAT YOU'LL COVER, e.g. goals and first steps]), and tell them to pick whichever time works and the invite will arrive automatically. Sound friendly and professional, not stiff, and sign off with just my first name, [YOUR NAME].
