'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.

Hi Vincenzo,

In addition to Mister Micawber's answer I'd like to point out that that propose is a verb. You might say What's the best way of proposing something?

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?
