Hello everyone. Welcome to E-mail Picks.
Today, I need to leave work early because
0:00:09.690,0:00:13.889
I need to pick up my son at his
kindergarten,
0:00:13.889,0:00:19.020
although I usually don't. My wife called
in and she said she realized that she
0:00:19.020,0:00:22.470
needed to attend this really, really important meeting so I figured I should go pick up
0:00:22.470,0:00:27.359
my kid. The problem is there is a form -
something to do with travel expenses -
0:00:27.359,0:00:32.730
that I needed to fill out and submit to
the accounting department, and I was
0:00:32.730,0:00:35.670
planning to do it this afternoon.
It would take about twenty minutes but
0:00:35.670,0:00:42.059
now, because I have an emergency, I can't
do it anymore. So today, I'm going to
0:00:42.059,0:00:46.530
write to the accounting department to
apologize that the form will take an
0:00:46.530,0:00:50.430
extra day to hand in. And I'm going to
write this e-mail really, really quickly
0:00:50.430,0:00:55.320
because I don't want my son to be upset
at me for making him wait for
0:00:55.320,0:01:00.180
a long time. So here goes.
Dear Arai-san, I'm sorry I haven't handed in
0:01:00.180,0:01:03.090
the travel expense report yet. I was
planning to do it this afternoon but
0:01:03.090,0:01:06.150
something's come up and I need to leave the office. I will hand it in first thing
0:01:06.150,0:01:08.580
tomorrow morning.
Please forgive me for not keeping my
0:01:08.580,0:01:13.170
word. I will plan ahead better from next
month. Kyota. OK, so I think you
0:01:13.170,0:01:17.520
noticed that I didn't mention the exact
reason I would not be able to hand in
0:01:17.520,0:01:21.810
the documents. She doesn't need to know
details because anything will sound like
0:01:21.810,0:01:25.470
an excuse. So I just wrote "something's
come up."
0:01:25.470,0:01:30.299
And then, I committed to submit the
documents first thing tomorrow morning
0:01:30.299,0:01:34.920
and apologize again for my shortcomings. I didn't forget to say how I will
0:01:34.920,0:01:39.450
prevent delays in the future. So there
you go. An e-mail to inform that you will
0:01:39.450,0:01:44.880
submit something late. I guess I'll buy
Arai-san some cookies tomorrow
0:01:44.880,0:01:48.689
and apologize to her directly. So
anyway, thanks for watching. I'll see you
0:01:48.689,0:01:51.290
next week.
