Asking for Advice.

Hi James, do you have a minute, I would like to pick your brain. As you know, we have been working on the new perfume that we are launching in April and we are unsure about some of the packaging details. I have seen some of your creative work in the sales department and I think you have a very good eye for detail. Do you have some time before close of business this Friday to sit down with me and talk through some of my designs? I would truly appreciate your advice on this. It shouldn't take longer than an hour of your time and I would be happy to clear it with Patricia, your department head, if necessary.
