VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W / S]

Corrected emails, then focused on pronunciation and speaking. Tried to correct “s” sound by focusing on “t” sound and position. Made some progress.

1 formal + 1 informal

Write an email to a client telling them that there is a ppt in the email that is talking about project x and it has the results of the recent advertising campaign. They are positive results.

To whom it may concern

I hope this email finds you well.
We regret to tell you that we can’t submit our creative idea for project x by this Friday because the time is too short for us to prepare.
We estimated it would take 10 days to finish it, so we can send it to you by next Tuesday.

Any questions feel free to let me know. Thank you.

Best,
Matthew

I hope you had a good weekend.

I think the possible time is next Tuesday.

Cheers / Thanks,
Matthew
