This is a question asking you if you plan on being present at this event. The reason for asking is that the organizer needs to order the food. If the organizer has no idea how many people are attending, he or she could order too much (or too little). So, when scheduling an event like a luncheon, it is often customary to request that people reply with whether they will or will not be there. An announcement that is sent out to certain people may include something called an RSVP (from the French words that mean "please answer; please let us know"). People either RSVP by telephone or by mail, or in some cases, e-mail is acceptable.

Telemarketing is using the telephone to ID, acquire, and retain customers for your goods and services. These are those horrible robocalls that you keep getting every week most likely. Teleconferencing is using the telephone or dedicated TV streaming to hold meetings where many if not most of the attendees are attending remotely by telephone or by video.
A missed meeting: I'd like to express my regret for having missed the meeting of October 8, 2011. I had expected to attend as usual, but a family emergency occurred on the morning of the 8th and by the time I realized I wouldn't be able to make the meeting, it was past time for the meeting. I send my apologies to you and the committee for this oversight. Sincerely, Notice of inability to attend: I'm writing to advise you that I will be unable to attend the meeting of October 8, 2011. Due to a scheduling problem, I will be out of town until the 9th of October. Upon my return, I will contact the secretary for a copy the minutes and any additional information so that I will up to date on the proceedings. I send my apologies to you and the committee. Sincerely, Turning down an invitation: Thank you for invitation to attend your meeting of October 8th 2011. I am advising you that I couldn't succeed in getting permission from my agency to participate in this meeting. I want you to know that I do appreciate your kind invitation. Sincerely, NOTE: These are sample reasons for not attending, use the real reason that you will not be able (were not able) to attend. A fabricated excuse can adversely affect your position in the long term.
An email invitation and a mailed letter are done slightly different. If doing a letter you need to add the normal headings you would when sending a professional letter like: July 20, 2006 Mr. Rodney GilesManager, Customer SupportInter-Office Solutions Inc.1289 Luxor Station Rd.Cedar Springs, IL, 34985 If you are writing them an email, you need to have a good subject line that let the reader know exactly why you are contacting them. A lot of professionals will disregard any emails from people they don't know or don't tell them right away the reason they need to read it. So for example: Speaking Invitation, Upcoming "Event Title", "City" "State Abbreviation" Then you can start your letter in the body of the email. Dear "Mr. or Ms. First Last Name, I hope this finds you well. My name is "Your Name Here" and I am "Who Are You or your position" at the "Organization You Represent". I am contacting you on behalf of "Your Organization" to invite you to speak at our upcoming 2009 "Event Title" on "Date" in "City, State Abbreviation". We'd be honored for you to deliver a speech or session on "Title of the session or topic". Your remarks would begin on "Month Day" at "Time" PM. The session would last approximately "Length". Below I have listed the detail for this session. I have attached a brochure for you to review and see who else is on the program. (If you have a brochure or program outline) "Brief Description again including the date, title, few sentences to describe the topic, and maybe a few bullet points of what you need thinks to be addressed" To tell you a little bit more about the conference, the goal of this program is to "One sentence to express the goal of the program." "Who the audience will be comprised of" (For Example: Some of the departments and titles of professionals attending this event are: operations, finance, risk, compliance and administration.) "A brief description of your organization and include a website if available". (For Example: ASMI is dedicated to improving performance by focusing on the core areas of accountability, transparency, competition and performance to produce a private sector that delivers more for less. You can learn more about our organization by visiting our website at http://www.asmiweb.com. ) "Here is where you want to put in a brief sentence describing any form of payment they will receive or any travel or hotel coverage you will provide" After you have reviewed the above information, please contact me directly with any questions. You can reach me at (555) 555-555. I look forward to hearing from you and hope you can join us in "Month"! Regards, "Your First and Last Name" I hope this helped. If you want more help just send me a message.
While audio-visual communication offers numerous benefits, there are also some disadvantages to consider: Lack of Personal Interaction: Audio-visual communication, especially when conducted remotely or through pre-recorded media, lacks the personal interaction found in face-to-face communication. Non-verbal cues, such as body language and facial expressions, can be limited or difficult to interpret, leading to potential misunderstandings or miscommunication. Technical Challenges: Audio-visual communication heavily relies on technology, which can sometimes be prone to technical issues. Poor audio or video quality, internet connectivity problems, or compatibility issues with different devices or software can disrupt communication and hinder the effectiveness of the message. Language and Cultural Barriers: In audio-visual communication, language and cultural differences can present barriers to understanding. Accents, unfamiliar vocabulary, or cultural references may make it challenging for participants to comprehend the intended message fully. This can lead to misinterpretations or misunderstandings. Distractions and Information Overload: In audio-visual communication, there is a higher possibility of distractions and information overload. Participants may be easily distracted by their surroundings or multitasking while attending to the communication, leading to reduced attention and comprehension. Additionally, the abundance of visual and auditory stimuli can overwhelm participants, making it difficult to focus on the main message. Limited Feedback and Engagement: Unlike in face-to-face communication, audio-visual communication may limit the immediacy of feedback and engagement. Delays in responses, difficulty in reading audience reactions, or limited opportunities for spontaneous interaction can hinder the flow and effectiveness of the communication process. Access and Inclusivity Challenges: Not everyone may have equal access to the necessary technology or reliable internet connections required for audio-visual communication. This can exclude certain individuals or groups, creating disparities in participation and hindering inclusivity. Additionally, individuals with visual or hearing impairments may face challenges in fully engaging with audio-visual content. Permanence and Record-keeping: Audio-visual communication, particularly in live settings, may lack permanent records of conversations or discussions. Unlike written communication, which can be saved and referred back to, audio-visual communication may not have the same level of documentation, making it challenging to retrieve specific details or agreements discussed during the communication. It's important to consider these disadvantages when choosing the appropriate mode of communication for different situations. While audio-visual communication offers convenience and flexibility, it's essential to be aware of its limitations and take necessary steps to overcome or mitigate these challenges for effective communication.
