Valid for a total of 6 people." The meeting will "take place over a friendly lunch at a mutually convenient time in New York City, exact location to be determined."

I look forward to this opportunity to have a friendly lunch with Rupert Murdoch, along with five of my invited guests. I will soon contact Mr. Murdoch's office to determine a mutually convenient time and place in New York.
