03. An Email I sent at work in Dec 2013... Dear ABC, This is Kalin from Japan Marketing team. Nice to meet you. Thank you for building the GIE(Global Integrated Enterprise) Community on Facebook. It is helpful for us to know the global GIE information further. I have a couple of questions about the GIE and it would be highly appreciated if I could get your support. 1. We've noticed that in addition to Finance, Supply Chain and IT, Marketing Transformation PoV has been released recently as well. These PoVs explain the detailed enterprise transformation in many kinds of functions. Japan has also been doing the GIE transformation project, but not in an integrated way, for example, A and B are doing their own GIE respectively. Thus we're considering an integrated GIE plan to be implemented in 2014 and want to know if the global GIE team has the similar GIE 2014 plan? Actually if the plan for 2014 is not ready, 2013 works for us as well, so that we could make the next year's GIE plan based on it. 2. I tried to read the materials posted in GIE Community on Facebook as much as I can, but there are so much of it, so could you please suggest the most important (or basic?) ones, which can help me make the integrated GIE plan smoothly? Thank you very much. Regards, Kalin

02. An Email I sent at work today... Dear ABC, Thank you for the call and sharing the programme info with us this morning. We're planning to start the programme soon and regarding the top age, could you please help us with the translation? As I was told we could have the support from the global fund to get it implemented more smoothly in Japan. Below is the link we're talking about: xxxxxxxx Besides the top page, I also want to confirm if it is possible to get the translation support with other links listed in the bottom of the top page? Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks & regards, Kalin

01. Email I sent at work yesterday... Dear ABC, Sorry to bother you again. Japan team just told me the contract has been countersigned successfully. Thank you! So may I start our first task this year? As I told you in the earlier email, we'd like to show the Japanese version of the global S&A site at our S&A meeting on 6/25, because we all think the web design is good. It is possible for you to help start the translation task? It would be highly appreciated if the translation task could be closed by 6/20. Thanks & regards, Kalin

about the writing... I realised the reason why I didn't write much and finally found out a way, which is to copy the emails I've written in English at work and paste here. When I get home from work, it's usually so late that I'm too tired to write something although I really want to. I just checked my articles that I published and the latest one was written 1 year ago... Since I need to write English emails everyday, why not get them corrected here? No.1 it saves time so much, No.2 compared to the recommended subjects, such as writing your hobbies, best friends, travel, business email is the most important part that I need to practise. It's really a smart way, isn't it? Of course, I will hide the sensitive information. :)
