You have run into a problem with a project. Write an email to your supervisor, asking to meet and talk about the problem.

Project: A new product from your company.
Your task: Marketing the product by a certain date.
Problem: The design of the product has just been changed, so you have to change your advertising plan. You will not be able to meet the deadline.

Examples and hints

This will be a semi-formal email. You are writing to your supervisor, so the tone must be respectful. But since you already know each other, the tone can be somewhat relaxed, too.

Phrases you can use in your e-mail:

I am emailing today to...
I want to let you know about [information] regarding [project name].
I would like to arrange a time to meet, if possible.
I am available [dates/times].*
Let me know what works for you.

*Give more than one date and time so that your boss can choose between them.
