When to schedule coffee meeting?

How early should you schedule for coffee? I want to meet next week but with thanksgiving this week, I obviously don't want to email them later this week. Can I email today in hopes of setting something up early next week?

I would make a suggestion, but say you can be flexible. Obviously suggest something convenient for them. The less possible ambiguity the better.

"Batman,

I hope this note reaches you well. Per our conversation on xxx date in regard to xxx, I am hoping to connect for 20-30 minutes to further discuss xxxx. Please let me know if you would be available either Thursday December 1st or Friday December 2nd around 8:00 am. Perhaps, the Starbucks at the corner of xyz and abc.

I can be flexible with the time and place.

Best, Robin"

don't necessarily take the above verbatim, but suggest a few dates and times as well as a convenient location and indicate you are flexible.
