E-mail Correspondence

I was waiting on an e-mail from Francesca Davies of the Our Happy Place Partnership as we had discussed when I could expect the rest of the content and it was a week overdue when I received correspondence on the 9th of January:

Hi Helen and Billy,

Happy New Year!

I was planning to distribute the OHP annual report at the end of March at a local meeting. This meeting has now moved forward to 12^th March due to the chair’s holiday plans.

Do you think we could have the final report by this date please? Or if not perhaps a final electronic copy by then to distribute over email?

Many thanks, Francesca 

This wasn't the e-mail that I was expecting to receive and was a little demoralised, as it is only six days until the module deadline. It seems that I will have to hand in a mostly unfinished document, even though I will be able to work on it for a further two months for the clients, and this is a worry in terms of grading.

However, on the 11th of January I received another e-mail:

Hi Billy,

·         Please find an updated version of the copy attached.

·         I have an idea to include a ‘mind map’ of the project – a bit like page 12 of the presentation attached but I have not got round to plotting it yet.

·         I am also waiting results of a resident survey that I am due to get end of Jan so I might have to insert a few results from this survey at last minute.

·         Please let me know when you are ready to source images and we can have a go at that.

There are a few new things in this email so please feel free to ring/email me with questions if you have concerns or happy to meet with you also.

Kind regards, Fran

Now, with just four days until the module deadline, I have more of the report content which includes elements that have not been previously discussed and am worried about how this will affect the layout that I currently have.

I am not sure whether to try and adapt it now to include whatever new content there is, or look to finish the original copy and then change parts of it when I have all the information I need. Most of the report from the Local Priorities section onwards is completely different to what I had already worked on, and with just a few days to meet the deadline I do not have enough time to complete this.
