I don’t know about you, but I really struggle with emails. These sentences were really helpful!

I’ve found that some people don’t respond if you ask for confirmation “will that be finished by tomorrow?”. Asking in the negative allows for you to assume everything is fine unless they respond “the due date is tomorrow, please let me know if you need help to finish that on time”.

Perhaps it’s less polite, but if you’re dealing with people who rarely reply, it puts the burden on them and doesn’t leave you waiting for their reply.

Good catch. Yeah. “I’m assuming X. Let me know if this is not the case.”
