. '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. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

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?
