Hi, Arlene.

I’m about 6’, gray, thinning hair.  Probably will be wearing a blue blazer
and slacks.

Hello, Arlene.

Tomorrow afternoon would be a great time to meet with you and I look
forward to it.  Could we do so around 2:30 p.m. at the Aviara?  I look
forward to a cup of coffee and conversation with you then.

Kind regards,

Cliff

Jim,

Thanks for the message below. I will be attending the Mauldin/Altegris
conference in the San Diego area from May 2nd-4th. Tomorrow (Wednesday May 2
nd) would work best. I am available between 2:30pm-5pm. Unfortunately, I
won’t have a car, so you would need to meet me at the hotel. I am staying
at the Park Hyatt Aviara. Cliff, we could meet in the lobby and go for a
cup of coffee if that fits your schedule. My mobile is; 312-498-9595.

Let me know if you can make it so I block out the time. Looking forward to
meeting you…

Best,

Arlene

Dear Arlene:

I lead the business development team for Brandes Investment Partners and
was fortunate enough to have David in my office in Geneva two weeks ago. He
mentioned your name in regard to institutional consulting firms.

It would be a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you and learn about
your business. While I would love to get out to DC to do just that, I now
understand that you will be in the San Diego area this week. Would you
perhaps have some time to meet with one of my colleagues, either at your
conference or our offices near Del Mar? We would of course accommodate your
schedule.

I have copied Cliff Schireson, who leads our consultant relations team. He
is a senior manager at the firm and would be happy take you through our
firm and investment process. I have also attached an institutional overview
of Brandes Investment Partners.

I hope we have the chance to meet you, either in California or back east in
the near future.

All the best,

Jim
