ME:

I called Kelso about this, and he volunteered to do that staff work.

Nobody else has gotten this specific invitation yet, so I am honored by it.

I assume that "Please contact the embassy of I.R of Iran for the arrangements." means OR I.R of Iran, since Iran has an International Representative but no Embassy here.

I do not quote e-mails without authorization, but this one is so impersonal, "Conference Secretariat" is not the sort of signature that singles one out, that I think I can announce it to the family.
