A quick email to a colleague:
"Greetings-- Just wanted to check in to see if you still wanted to. . "
"Was just wondering if you might still be able to. . .."
"Howdy! I was hoping to loop back to you about. . ."
"Sorry about asking so many questions but I was hoping you might be able to tell me. . ."

Happy Wednesday.
Thanks for the reminder!

ReplyDeleteExactly the reason why Ican't write a "quick" 5 lines e-mail to a colleague in less than two hours.
