In this IT-English, let's learn expressions used when sending business emails. Since this is the second time we're doing this, let's approach it with more diverse expressions. Looking at the content, Ricky is sending an email to Max. He wants to ask for something. How can we express it in a more business-like manner? How about learning the expressions necessary for natural emailing and applying them from today? Even the closing remarks! Don't miss it and be sure to learn them.

Dear Mr. Max,

I'm emailing to confirm the 31st at 19:00 for our meeting.

First, I wonder if you can provide the overhead projector. Because, I prepared what I will present during our meeting.

Could you reply with this as soon as possible?

If not, I need to check whether we have any projectors that I can bring.

So, see you on the day. I will bring some of my coworkers from our office.

Let me know if there are any changes in the schedule.

Looking forward to meeting you

Regards.

Ricy

To Mr. Max.

I'm sending you an email to confirm our meeting at 7pm on the 31st.
First of all, would it be possible to use a beam projector? I have prepared some materials to present at the meeting.
Can I get an answer on this as soon as possible?
If not, you'll need to check if there's any equipment you can bring .
I'll go with a few of my coworkers from the office.
Please let me know if there are any changes to your schedule. I look forward to seeing you.

Ricky Dream.

Syntax analysis

I wonder if you can provide

: If you say I wonder if you~ , you can usually think of it as “I wonder if ~ is true or not.” It is an expression that indirectly asks, but it is not a very formal expression. It is an expression that is often used even among casual people. In addition to this expression, I am curious~ also has the same meaning. Please remember that it is not a direct translation of “I’m curious~” but rather “ I’m curious.”

Let me know if there are any changes in the schedule.

: Isn't the expression "let me know " familiar now? It's the same expression this time. However, the reason I'm learning this expression is because I chose this sentence to learn the expression " Please let me know if there are any changes~" . In fact, most of the time, this expression starts with "If you have ~ ", etc. It's not a wrong expression, but it's not a natural or good example, so I specifically pointed it out as an expression that would be good to learn. Let's definitely learn it this time!

Looking forward to meeting you

: “I look forward to meeting you.” Is that too formal? Since it is a business email, I interpreted it as a formal expression. It could be a common closing greeting, such as “I look forward to meeting you.”, but it would be better to think of it as just one of the closing greetings.

Besides this, it is also common to simply write "Thank you" and end with something like "Have a good day."
