Dear XXXX,

I am due to have a meeting with the company lawyers concerning some aspects of our business next week. I am not a legal expert but I do not want to take part in the meeting completely unprepared, so I would kindly ask you to put together a Report containing your research on the four questions below, supporting your findings with examples and relevant case law and statutes where appropriate.

Many thanks,

Amanda (Line Manager)
