Subject: Could I borrow your notes from yesterday’s class?
Hey Jessica,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing to ask you a small favour because I missed our Business Communications class yesterday, and I’m really worried about falling behind.
I came down with a bad flu on Monday night and could barely get out of bed yesterday. The professor’s slides are online, but I heard there was a group activity and some important announcements about the upcoming presentation project.
Could I possibly borrow your notes from yesterday’s class? I just need to understand what I missed – especially any details about the group project deadlines and how to sign up for presentation topics. I promise I’ll return your notebook tomorrow morning.
In return, I’d be happy to share my notes from last week’s lecture on email etiquette. My notes are pretty detailed, and I think you’ll find them useful for the quiz next week.
Let me know if you can help. Thanks a million, Jessica – I really appreciate it.
Best,
Rahul
