Workplace और Written Messages

Situation	Useful phrase
Deadline	Could you confirm the deadline and time zone?
File version	Which version should I use?
Responsibility	Could you confirm who is handling this part?
Requirement	Is this required, or is it optional?
Next step	What should happen after I send the form?

Written conversation में short summary दें: To confirm: I will translate the revised file and send it by Thursday. इससे ambiguity कम होती है।

Direct You are wrong कहने के बजाय I may be looking at this differently कहें। Could you…?, Would you mind…? और Just to confirm… phrases requests को softer बनाते हैं।
