Dear BPC,

As mentioned yesterday, we need to develop a CEO’s message/corporate statement (1 page) for a new brochure being designed. Find attached brochures that have been developed in the past. You can incorporate aspects of the speech from the docs. attached. I need this latest by July 9th i.e. Sunday.

Best regards, Colleague
Marketing Manager


Let alone the fact that BPC read this email on Monday afternoon WITHOUT having even started the job. Let's focus on BPC email back to colleague:
