 TO: a colleague of ours from the company's delegation in Switzerland

Hello Peter, good afternoon

 I regret to inform you that I won´t be able to make it to the meeting scheduled for this Friday, 3 in Zurich.

My partner María Rodríguez will go instead. She is fully up to date on the details of the project.

I hope to see you soon some other time

 

TO: the client

Dear Mr. Hansen

 Unfortunately, due to some problems with my agenda, it will be impossible for me to attend the meeting next Friday at your offices in Zurich.

My partner, Ms. María Rodríguez, will go in my place. She is fully qualified to advise you and knows the project in detail.

I regret the inconvenience. I will be looking forward to meeting with you in the future.

Best regards

 

TO: a partner who reports to me

Hello María

 I am afraid you will have to go to Zurich this Friday on your own. Complications have arisen with another project, and I cannot go with you.

Peter and Mr. Hansen will meet you there.

Sorry for letting you know at such short notice

EMAIL 

  Email a colleague of yours in Berlin (Uwe Schmidt). Include the following information:

·       Un cliente ha solicitado que se incluyan en la oferta servicios de minería de datos (data mining). Vds. no pueden ofrecer estos servicios por carecer de personal especializado en la sección de la empresa de España.

·       Necesita saber si la sección del destinatario está en disposición de proporcionar dichos servicios y participar en el proyecto. Ésta es una práctica habitual en su empresa.

·       Adjunta un documento con las especificaciones del cliente. Solicita respuesta urgente pues un retraso podría hacer peligrar el contrato (jeopardize the contract/put the contract at risk).
