After greetings
It is no secret to you the difficulty I face when I am requested by telephone by some doctors, pharmacists ⟦and others⟧, a matter
which makes me leave the work on my desk and go to the telephone in front of the secretary's or accountant's room, calling
or being called ⟦and therefore⟧ perhaps you would agree to install an extension in my room on the same aforementioned telephone installed in the room of
the secretary, the accountant, and the property supervisor.
The matter is for your Eminence to decide
