Who is most likely speaking?

Hi, Richard, this is Phillip. I’m calling about some changes in your upcoming flight itinerary. You were scheduled to return to New York by Saturday September 27th at 9 a.m. from Los Angeles. I received your e-mail that stated you needed to be back in New York earlier to get started on litigation proceedings so I checked all of the airlines offering flights from Los Angeles to New York. According to what I found, most of the flights had a minimum of two stopovers due to the increase in domestic travel this time of year. After checking all the airlines, I found that Trans-Flight was the only airline offering a flight from Los Angels to New York with only one stopover in Chicago. The stopover will be for nine hours and is at night so we’ll need to book a hotel. However the stopover also means a $130 reduction in your ticket price. I went ahead and booked the flight since it was the best offer available. Please e-mail me back with your hotel preferences ASAP so I can have that booked for you as well.
