Come or go?
Please check my sentences. I get confuse with come and go verbs.
I will go to the main office this morning to ask you to sign the audit. Will you be there? I have to mail this by tomorrow morning.

Actually, you can use either verb in this case. It depends on your point of view. I will go to the office to meet you.

kolokoyI will go to ...Don't feel like The Lone Ranger. I too get confused by these verbs.
I'd accept either "I'm going to ..." or "I'm coming to ..." in this case.
"I will go to ..." or "I will come to ..." are both rather stilted speech.
Native speakers would not say them like that.

kolokoyI will go to the main office this morning to ask you to sign the audit. Will you be there? It's correct, because the speaker is not in the main office now.
