Hi, thank you for taking my call, I have a strange ask, and I apologize for that, but: do you happen to know what John Doe's favorite meal is?

- I am sorry?

I am Michael from ABC Company, and I have been trying to talk to him for a few weeks now.

I appreciate that he must be swamped, so I just wanted to grab his attention with a nice lunch and a thank you note.

Hi, I'm Michael from ABC Company.

I figure you receive many calls a day, and you will hate me for this, but this is a cold call.

Still, can I borrow 2min of your time, or do you prefer to end the call right now?
