1) I'll come into the office on Saturday morning if you like, Peter.
2) I'm going to come into the office on Saturday morning if you like, Peter.
3) I'm coming into the office on Saturday morning if you like, Peter.
Which of these three future forms is more correct? I think each one might sound good but 1 means that the speaker is making up his mind at that very moment when he's talking, 2 means that he wants to underline his intention to come into the office or his availability to come into there, 3 I think it could also be considered correct in this case because we have "on Saturday morning" which is a future indication, that we usually find with the present progressive.
Am I right?
The grammar book where I've taken this sentence from says that only 1 is correct...
What's your view about this?
