Read a text message chain.

Sam (9:05 A.M.): Helen's last day is Friday. Should we get her something from the team? Priya (9:12 A.M.): Definitely. Maybe a plant for her new office? I can pick one up on Thursday. Sam (9:14 A.M.): Great idea. If everyone gives $10, we'll have about $80. Priya (9:15 A.M.): Perfect. Can you get a card and have everyone sign it before Friday? Sam (9:16 A.M.): Sure. I'll leave it on my desk.
