I am looking forward to getting situated and have made my appointment with HR, however I was hoping that I could be assigned to the Palo Alto office? I had talked with someone about that during the interview and they said it would be a possibility.

Review the correspondence above. Analyze the following:

1) Is there an offer? Explain
