Dear Professor DDD,

Thank you for considering me for this wonderful opportunity.

The best dates for me to meet with you in December fall on the weekends.

The dates are :1-3, 15-17 or 22-24.
My preferred dates are:
Dec 1 - 3
Dec 15 - 17
Dec 22 - 24


note: European style (I think this is correct, but you should check with a European!)
1 - 3 Dec
15 - 17 Dec
22 - 24 Dec

NOTE: THESE DATES ARE NOT WEEKENDS

Please pick up one that is appropriate so I can manage my flight to QQ city.
As soon as you pick the one that is best for you, I will arrange my flight to QQ City.
(NOTE: "City" is probably capitalized, but you should check)

Thanks again and I am looking forward to meeting you.
