Tenses

0Hi,02br
02br
00Please tell me if tenses are proper.02br
02br
001.Setting a meeting date:02br
02br
00Hi, I was told that Jane and Joe agreed to have the next meeting on January 16th as I had suggested in the letter I wrote on Janurary 2nd. I feel had I had suggested the date of January 18, they wouldn't have agree to that date since it is likely that they would (not 'wil' correct??)l be going on a trip on that day. 02br
02br
002. Planning for a task:02br
02br
00I am going to work on this project on 2 p.m. this afternoon after I finish lunch. It will most likely take two hours to complete and I know that my uncle will be coming home at 3 p.m. When my uncle comes home, it is likely I will be working on my project and he will be coming in in the middle of my working on it. When my grand father comes home at 6 p.m. I will be no longer working on my project but I would have long finished my project and would have been sitting in my sofa, sipping a cold cup of cola, watching my favorite soap drama. I am looking forward to the time when I will be sitting in my sofa doing what I always like to do, sipping cola and watching my favorite soap. 0-

00Why did you suggest this change? Is 'had suggested' good enough as a flash-back (seems to be the term someone has used in this forum)? 02br

0It's in blue, so it's just an alternate possibility, not a requirement that you change it.02br
00I suggested the change because the dates already make the time sequence clear.02br
00Further, the briefer terms 01i00your letter of, my letter of,02i00 etc. followed by the date are typical in business letters.02br
