Subject: Tuesday’s Staff Meeting

Date: May 10, 8:52 A.M.

Good morning everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that we are canceling our weekly Tuesday Staff Meeting due to the fact that Mrs. Thatcher will not be able to attend. She will be in Mercy Hospital for back surgery. Please email me any important issues or concerns.

-Writing Sample

Dear Debbie, I am planning my teaching schedule for next week and was wondering when you were planning to reschedule the cancelled meeting. As it is the end of the semester, I have a lot of tests to give my students and I would prefer to have a little extra time to make copies and organize my papers. If the meeting is going to be held on Wednesday morning, I will not be able to attend because I have organized my history class to take their test then. Also, I was wondering if Mrs. Thatcher will be allowed visitors after her back surgery. She has been a very good friend to me and I would like to bring her some flowers when she is finished with her back surgery. If you know her room number at Mercy Hospital, or the telephone number of one of her family members I would really appreciate it if you could email me the details. Thanks.
