Why is the speaker calling?

Hey, Carlos. This is Daniel Yu, and l wanted to welcome you. Everyone is excited that you’re joining the marketing department here in the Paris office. I’m not sure if you got the memo from Tonya Hardy, the department head. She has rescheduled this week’s Monday staff meeting because we’ll be having a special breakfast to welcome you to the branch. Instead of the normal 9 A.M. time, it will be hosted at noon. Make sure to prepare a short speech about yourself. Maybe you could share some of your goals for the company, too. Anyway, I hope you’re settling in at your new apartment just fine. Feel free to let me know if you need help with anything.
