Hello

Yesterday I wanted to contact Dr. Graham's office but I dialled the wrong telephone number by mistake.I realized I got the wrong number when I received an answering machine and I immediately ended my call.

Hi Jasper - just a couple of things...

"I realized I had the wrong number when I reached an answering machine...".

Everything else is OK.
