こんなシチュエーション、お仕事でありませんか？
多部門間の会議で、それぞれの今後の役割を確認しました。でも会議を途中退出しなければならなかった同僚に、会議で決定したタスクの依頼をしなければ。
英語メールで「タスクの依頼をする」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。

マキさん、
先ほどはお時間をいただき、また、様々なアイディアを共有してくださりありがとうございました。退出された後はスケジュールの細かい点を話し合っただけでしたので、見逃したことは特にございません。
会議で合意したように、PR部門にはキャッチーなセミナー名を考えていただき、セミナーの概要を簡潔な説明文にまとめていただきたいです。来週の会議までに用意していただけますか？それまでには、こちらでセミナーのコンテンツも作成しておきます。

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, It's Kyota here. I hope you're all doing
well. Now today, I'm going to ask a
colleague to carry out a task in a
project that we are sharing, so let me
show you how I'd write that e-mail. Now
"carry out" just means to do something, but
people don't say "do a task" they
always say "carry out a task." So a few
days ago, our company goal for this year
was announced and it's a pretty
challenging one. So in order to reach
that goal, I've decided to work even more
closely with our sales departments and
our PR department. We need to put our
heads together and act as one body,
like an orchestra. So I had a meeting
with the heads of both departments to
talk about our strategy for this year.
The first action we're going to take is
hold a seminar to create a chance for us
to talk with our potential customers.
In the meeting, the three of us agreed on
the overall theme of the seminar and
also the tasks we're going to carry out
by the next meeting, so here's the plan:
I'm going to make the seminar content,
the sales department is going to
coordinate the seminar, and the PR
department is going to come up with a
catchy title for the seminar, which I
think is the most difficult. But the PR
head had to leave the meeting towards
the end because she had another meeting
to attend. So now I'm going to write to
her to tell her the conclusion of our
meeting and also the tasks we need to
ask her to work on. OK, so here goes:
Maki-san, thank you for your time and
ideas in our meeting earlier. After you
had to leave, we just went over some
details about the schedule, so you didn't
miss much. However, as we agreed, we would
like PR to come up with a catchy title
and a concise overview of the seminar.
Would you please have a draft ready by
our meeting next week? I'll have the
seminar content ready by then. Thanks,
Kyota. Okay, so in the first paragraph I'm
just telling her that
there wasn't anything she missed after
she left, so don't worry. And in the
second paragraph, I'm asking her to
complete a task by the next meeting. I
wrote that I'll be working on a task
myself to to make sure this e-mail sounds
like "you do your part, I do mine." So
that's it, an e-mail to ask a colleague to
carry out a task. I'm already looking
forward to our next meeting to see what
the team will come up with, of course
including myself. Anyway, that's it for
today, thank you for watching and I'll
see you next week.
