Subject: Something I need to talk to you about

From: Katie Bowman - [e-mail]

Dear Miss Gina,

I'm having an issue that I need to talk to you about. I'm not sure if we can talk about it today or maybe tomorrow, or the next day? I know our usual meeting is today but it turns out I need to reschedule it because something came up. I forgot my lunch so I have to go pick up something to eat. I'm super hungry so I'm going to have to leave when we would usually meet. So anyway let me know if tomorrow works...Oh wait, I just remembered you're not here tomorrow. Maybe we can meet Friday or next week to talk about the thing I need to tell you. Let me know!

Thanks,

Katie Bowman
