'Might get in touch' is quite casual-- not formal at all. Try something like: 'Could we arrange a conference call for 6 pm?' 'We would like to speak with you again at 6 pm, if that is convenient', etc.

How about this sentence ?

Is that ok If you use 'Could we make a arrangement at 7 P.m?'

Not really-- just 'an arrangement' is too vague.

Hi,

Perhaps: Could we arrange to call each other at 7 p.m?

How about this?

"Could we have a talk at 7 PM in Newyork restaurant? "

Not a phone conversation, Sunhoek, and that is the topic of this thread.
