Work

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.

Write an email to a colleague arranging a meeting to discuss your project. Use the following questions to create the body of the email. (It can be real or imagined.)

Include the Subject line—make sure it states clearly what the email is about.

1. What about the project do you want to discuss?
2. Where do you want to meet?
3. When do you want to meet?

Add an appropriate closing.

You recently had a successful interview with an expert for a project you are doing at work. Write an email to thank them for their time.

Make your email more effective by using specific details (e.g., the topic of the interview) and addressing the expert by name. Use your imagination!

How would you fire someone if you were their supervisor? Write what you would say to them.
