German term or phrase: vollgeleisten
Greetings,

I heard something very like this on TV, and here it is again:

Wie schon beschrieben werde ich gerne der Einladung vollgeleisten. Da mein Dienstherr mir Urlaub gegeben hat.

Please see:

All the best, and many thanks,

@ EdithK: You are right, but I thought it was clear enough, as I edited the German source term in my answer... I even changed it to the whole expression: "einer Einladung Folge leisten" and translated the whole phrase...

But for everyone who didn´t notice this: Of cource it is a typo, it should read "Folge leisten", as I posted in the source term of my answer :-)
