Unit 1b - Using email

 

I hope you've got something to show me, we are waiting on that research you are supposed to have done. There's a few of us here that want to have a look. Sahira is our fundraising manager and Fergus helps out part-time looking after the animals.

I think I can just about understand email, so thats how you can show us what you have done, but because I haven't used it much, I might need some help from an expert, failing that, we might need your help.

Right, go on then, get on with it.
