Reply for a phone interview

This is from an admission comittee chair:

Hi xxx:
I have not forgotten you and am still trying to see if there can be funding available. It is possible that I
will not know that until next week.
If you would like to discuss this by phone I could give you a call on Thursday or Friday.
yyy

Here is what I draft:

Thank you very much for the followup and the opportunity to talk with you. I hope my available schedule as follows will be found to be fit yours- my apology that my time this week is very tight due to the thesis defense next Monday and a conference call on Friday morning.

Thursday (4/7)-11am~4pm 6pm~7:30pm (CDT)

Friday (4/8)-after 2pm (CDT)

Please let me know if there is any mutual convenience. My skype number is mmmmmmmmm. Look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,
