Dear Jose's agent, We here at the _______ organization are very interested in your client's services for next season and beyond. As you know we are not permitted to discuss money at this juncture but would appreciate touching base with you prior to the official opening of the FA period if possible. You may prefer to defer any meeting prior to that point but if you are interested we will have our representative available at precisely 135 on the 7th if you have any questions. Sincerely yours, Major League GM This is classic..Thanks
