sentences

Hi,

Can you help me?
Are my sentences correct in English?

Tom contacted me last Sunday and wrote that he wanted to discuss the position with me and asked if I was free on Thursday, 18 July. I agreed to meet with him on Thursday and sent him an email. He didn´t answer. I sent another email two days later but I haven´t got any answers till now.

Maybe he hasn´t received the emails or something has happened to him.

Thank you!

In my dialect "I haven't got any answers till now" would mean that NOW you have the answers. I would write "... any reply yet." (Actually, I'd say "but he has not replied to any of them.")

I have no problem with "meet with" instead of just "meet."

(Does he have a phone number? Can you call him?)

Babara and Anonymus,
I am sorry that I have answered it wrongly. I googled the usage between "meet" and "meet with" and I found both are acceptable. "Meet with" is more formal.

"meet with" also gives the impression that something will be discussed, as at a business meeting, which is the case here. At least, that's how I hear it.

"meet (somebody)" can also mean that you'll be introduced to someone you don't know yet.

I'd like you to meet my friend Jack. (Not "
