A fair few ppl received PFOs today (you'll find a few posts about this in the last couple of pages on this thread. Not sure if anyone's received AC invites or if Ropes send PFOs in batches though...

hey everyone,

For a case study that would want you to present like you to present in a professional meeting without any formal itnroduction

Would you recommend having an executive summary? Or just skipping that and doing intro, body, conclusion!

Thanks so much
