英文メールの書き方：誰がボールを持っているか確認する
こんなシチュエーション、お仕事でありませんか？
次のステップが不明確なまま会議が終了してしまった。誰がボールを持っているか確認したい。
英文メールで「誰がボールを持っているか確認する」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。

みなさん、
次のステップだけ確認させてください。
議論の方向性から見て、次回の会議までにツジノさんがプロジェクトの全体像をおおまかにまとめてくださり、私がフィリピン支社側での業務フローを確認する、という理解でよろしいでしょうか？

Hello everyone. Welcome to E-mail Picks. I'm working on this big project to make a
0:00:09.780,0:00:14.429
product that many of our corporate
clients have been asking for. And I can't
0:00:14.429,0:00:19.080
tell you what it is, but I have been
working with many other departments that
0:00:19.080,0:00:23.730
are involved in this since about two
months ago. And although we are making
0:00:23.730,0:00:29.490
progress at our last meeting, we had
to run out. We all have to rush out of
0:00:29.490,0:00:33.719
our meeting room because our time was up, and we didn't really clarify our next
0:00:33.719,0:00:39.149
step. So today, I'd like to write to
everyone in the project to check whose
0:00:39.149,0:00:45.270
courts the ball is in right now. That way,
we will be able to set expectations on
0:00:45.270,0:00:51.989
what we will discuss in our next meeting.
So he goes. Hi everyone, Can I just
0:00:51.989,0:00:56.129
confirm our next step in this project? So
judging from where our discussion was
0:00:56.129,0:00:59.850
headed towards, before our next meeting,
Tsujino-san will put together a
0:00:59.850,0:01:03.870
rough overview of the whole scope of the
project and I will figure out the
0:01:03.870,0:01:07.350
process the Phillipines office will need
to go through and hand it over to Tsujino-san.
0:01:07.350,0:01:10.380
Does that sound right for
everyone? Please let me know.
0:01:10.380,0:01:16.530
Kyota. OK, so it's a very simple e-mail. I
started with communicating the intent of
0:01:16.530,0:01:21.960
this e-mail. In the second paragraph, I
indirectly pointed out that we didn't
0:01:21.960,0:01:26.939
reach a conclusion during the meeting
and that I am guessing the next step by
0:01:26.939,0:01:32.640
writing "so judging from where our
discussion was headed towards." And then I
0:01:32.640,0:01:37.200
wrote "Does that sound right for everyone
?" And I added "everyone" to give the
0:01:37.200,0:01:41.579
impression that I actually want to hear
back from everyone, not just one person. I
0:01:41.579,0:01:46.860
don't want a dispute about whose court
the ball was in later. So there you go.
0:01:46.860,0:01:52.950
An e-mail to ask for clarification on whose
court the ball is in. I hope that helps to
0:01:52.950,0:01:59.040
give you an idea of how to clarify the
next steps. OK, so thank you for
0:01:59.040,0:02:02.149
watching. I'll see you next week.
