英文メールの書き方：休み明けの返信をお願いする
こんなシチュエーション、お仕事でありませんか？
連休明けに同僚と打ち合わせをしなければならなくなりました。でも相手はすでに休みに入っています。せっかくの休暇中に返信してほしくないけど、忘れないように今のうちにメールを打っておきたい。
英語メールで「休み明けの返信をお願いする」お手本を動画でチェック！
こちらの動画では、伝えるべきメッセージとニュアンスを書き手が考えているところから、以下の内容のメールを実際に英語で書く様子までをご覧いただけます。

ジャスティン、
ゴールデンウィーク中はこのメールに気づかないことを切に願っていますが、私が休暇に入る前に忘れないように、予めお伝えします。
来週の水曜日に顧客訪問に同行することになり、事前に会議をする必要があります。休み明けで構いませんので、ご都合の良い日時をお知らせください。

今後の仕事での英語メールの参考になれば幸いです。

Hello everyone! Welcome to E-mail Picks. Why am I making a video during Golden Week?
0:00:10.320,0:00:16.170
It's because holidays don't matter in
the world of videos. But I am taking
0:00:16.170,0:00:20.699
several days off starting Thursday, just
like most of my colleagues are here at
0:00:20.699,0:00:25.109
Bizmates Japan office. Now I just heard
from our sales department that my
0:00:25.109,0:00:30.330
colleague Justin and I will be making a
client visit together next...uh... when was that...
0:00:30.330,0:00:35.130
ah next Wednesday. This means that we
will need to have an internal meeting
0:00:35.130,0:00:40.860
beforehand to brief the situation but
Justin is already away on vacation so I
0:00:40.860,0:00:45.300
need to let him know by e-mail. But of
course I don't want him to think about
0:00:45.300,0:00:50.039
work during the holidays so I want to
make sure that he doesn't feel like he
0:00:50.039,0:00:56.190
needs to reply immediately. I want him to
not care about this e-mail until he comes
0:00:56.190,0:01:00.930
back to work next Monday. So that's the
message I'm going to write today. Here
0:01:00.930,0:01:07.710
goes. Hi Justin, I hope you don't see,
reply, or even care about this e-mail for
0:01:07.710,0:01:12.090
the duration of Golden Week. I just need
to make sure I don't forget to send you
0:01:12.090,0:01:17.189
the following info before I go off on my
own little vacation: we will be making a
0:01:17.189,0:01:21.210
client visit together on Wednesday the
9th so we need to have a meeting to
0:01:21.210,0:01:24.659
brief on it. Please let me know a
convenient time for you when you return
0:01:24.659,0:01:31.079
on Monday. Enjoy your trip. Kyota. OK,
so right at the start, I'm trying to make
0:01:31.079,0:01:36.990
sure Justin understands that he can
disregard this e-mail until Monday. "I hope
0:01:36.990,0:01:41.310
you don't see, reply, or even care about
this e-mail for the duration of Golden
0:01:41.310,0:01:47.250
Week" just means "don't reply until the
end of Gordon Week" and then in the
0:01:47.250,0:01:52.110
second paragraph, I emphasize yet again
that I wanted him to reply after the
0:01:52.110,0:01:56.490
holidays by writing "please let me know a
convenient time for you when you return
0:01:56.490,0:02:01.950
on Monday." So there you go. That's my
e-mail to ask a colleague to reply after
0:02:01.950,0:02:06.540
the holidays. You know,
Justin's a very laid-back guy who
0:02:06.540,0:02:12.000
doesn't feel like he needs to separate
work and life. Work and life balance! He's
0:02:12.000,0:02:16.980
not that kind of guy, so I bet
he'll reply to me within the next few
0:02:16.980,0:02:22.050
hours anyway, but at least I won't feel
guilty about it. All right, so that's it for
0:02:22.050,0:02:26.030
today. Thanks for watching. I'll see you
next week.
