Business Writing Exercise (Tone)

Original Writing

Hi Lauren,

Good Day!

I have been meaning to ask you about your office. I will have a client meeting this Friday afternoon and I would like to use your office as it has a larger space and better view than mine. I thought of asking your assistant but I prefer borrowing from you directly.

Please let me know if your office is available by Thursday so I can prep for the Friday meeting. Thank you!

Best,

Jess

Tone: Friendly

Hi Lauren,

Hope you are having a good day.

Would it be possible for me to borrow your office on Friday afternoon? I though your office may be more presentable than mine because of the larger area and better view. I thought of checking with your assistant but I prefer asking you directly.

Let me know if you can lend me your office by Thursday.

Cheers,

Jess

Tone: Insistent (co-worker has been uncooperative in the past)
