英文メールの書き方：会議の議題を募集する
こんなシチュエーション、お仕事でありませんか？
多部署間の全体会議の議長を急遽務めることになり、参加者にメールして議題を募集しなければなりません。あまりプレッシャーを与えたくはないものの、ある部署から是非議題を提出してほしいので、それとなく希望を伝えたい。
英語メールで「会議の議題を募集する」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。

みなさま、
今月もまた、全体会議の時期がやってまいりました。来週は野中さんが休暇に入るため、今回は私が議長を務めさせていただきます。
全部署から議題を募集します。全体に共有すべき事項がありましたら、所要時間と併せて5日の火曜日までにお知らせください。IT部の最新の動向に関する共有が予定されればそちらを優先せざるを得なくなりますが、他の部署のみなさまからも議題を心からお待ちしております。

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! I
might have told you before, but at
0:00:10.290,0:00:16.770
Bizmates, we have this weekly officewide
meeting where we share ideas and updates
0:00:16.770,0:00:22.740
with each other and we have a very, very
skilled facilitator who arranges and
0:00:22.740,0:00:27.840
facilitates all these meetings. But next
week, he's going to be on vacation.
0:00:27.840,0:00:32.430
So this time, I'm going to do all the
arranging and facilitating. So as it is
0:00:32.430,0:00:35.640
usually done,
I need to send out a reminder to all
0:00:35.640,0:00:40.410
staff about the office meeting and I
also need to invite agenda items from
0:00:40.410,0:00:45.329
the participants. The purpose of our
office meetings is to create a chance
0:00:45.329,0:00:51.750
for everyone in every department to know
what's going on at Bizmates. So what are
0:00:51.750,0:00:55.949
other departments working on, what events
are coming up -- you want to share this
0:00:55.949,0:00:59.850
kind of information. Now I know the IT
department has several interesting
0:00:59.850,0:01:03.930
projects going on, so it'll be lovely if
all the other departments could know
0:01:03.930,0:01:09.330
about their initiatives. So in the e-mail
I'm going to write today, I want to hint at
0:01:09.330,0:01:14.970
IT that we're kind of expecting a mini
presentation on their ongoing projects.
0:01:14.970,0:01:18.780
But I also know that they are very busy
right now,
0:01:18.780,0:01:22.650
so I don't want to give them too much
pressure. I don't want to be the bad guy.
0:01:22.650,0:01:28.979
So let's see how that e-mail will go.
Hello all, yet again, it's time to start
0:01:28.979,0:01:32.850
looking forward to our next office
meeting. As our favorite star facilitator
0:01:32.850,0:01:37.560
will be on vacation next week, I will be
substituting this time. I would like to
0:01:37.560,0:01:41.549
invite agenda items from all departments.
Please let me know if you have anything
0:01:41.549,0:01:45.659
to share with us all, and if so, how much
time you would like to have in the
0:01:45.659,0:01:50.759
meeting, by Tuesday the fifth. The very-much
anticipated news on the ongoing IT
0:01:50.759,0:01:54.630
projects may need to be prioritized if
they are to be presented, but please
0:01:54.630,0:01:58.380
don't let that make you hesitate to
volunteer. Thank you in advance.
0:01:58.380,0:02:03.810
Kyota. OK so in the first
paragraph, I'm just explaining why
0:02:03.810,0:02:06.180
they're getting an e-mail from me this
time.
0:02:06.180,0:02:10.970
Now in the second paragraph, I invited
agenda items from everyone by writing
0:02:10.970,0:02:15.500
"I would like to invite agenda items from
all departments. Please let me know if
0:02:15.500,0:02:20.150
you have anything to share with us all..."
OK and then I tried to give a hint to
0:02:20.150,0:02:25.280
IT to submit an agenda item by writing
"the very-much anticipated news on the
0:02:25.280,0:02:29.740
ongoing IT projects may need to be
prioritized if they are to be presented."
0:02:29.740,0:02:34.300
Very-much anticipated means everyone's
looking forward to it.
0:02:34.300,0:02:39.380
So yeah, I guess I am applying a little
pressure here. You need to have a lot of
0:02:39.380,0:02:44.480
nerve to not do something after hearing
that everyone's waiting for it, right?
0:02:44.480,0:02:49.040
So hopefully, this next office meeting
will be a productive one. Thank you for
0:02:49.040,0:02:52.209
watching and I'll see you next week.
