Sample College Email Scenario III by Sani Chartudomdej https://padlet.com/sani_c/a0y7kygqc0qh You are in an English class, which you love. The semester starts off fine but then something happens so you begin to miss classes, fails to hand in assignments, and generally are falling behind. You feel like you need to talk to your professor. In your head, you want to say, “I'm feeling totally overwhelmed by everything. My job is taking more time than expected. I'm supposed to work 20 hours a week, but lately they want more hours from me, and now it's more like 30 hours a week. I'm behind in all my classes, not just this one, and I have a math exam next week. Besides that, I had a fight with my boyfriend and I've had to move out of my apartment and find another place, so I've been busy with moving my stuff. Now, on top of everything else, I have this chest cold – I feel terrible. I just don't know where to start, or what to do next. I feel like dropping out of school." Compose an email to your professor to ask for her help and advice. en-us 2019-08-19 13:31:30 UTC 2019-09-15 04:53:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Asking for advice about the Eng Bus Writ class https://padlet.com/sani_c/a0y7kygqc0qh/wish/375603531 Dear Prof. Sani Chartudomdej,

Hello. This is Jane Doe from your Friday English class, section#1. I am contacting you because I would like to ask you for advice about the class.

I have enrolled many classes this semester, along with doing my part-time job at the same time. However, it turns out to be much more burdensome than I have thought. Since the job requires more time than expected and I am having a hard time with my personal problems, I am unable to attend the classes I have enrolled and finish all the assignments in time. 
I would like to ask if I can have a consultation with you. 

Thank you.

Best Regards, 
Jane Doe

Good afternoon. This is Emma Woodhouse from your business writing class (section 1). I am contacting you because I am currently struggling to keep up with the class due to my personal problems. 

I apologise for missing so many classes and failing to hand in assignments. Now, I do not know how to catch up with the lesson and I feel like giving up. So, I would like to seek your advice in person. I would really appreciate if I could make an appointment on Thursday or Friday (August 29 and 30). If not, I can drop by your office whenever you are available. Please let me know your schedule. 

Thank you so much. 

Best Regards,

Emma Woodhouse.

Hello. My name is Jane Doe, a student in your English Business Writing class. I am contacting you because I am worried that I am falling behind in class. Thus I want to ask for your advice.

I am feeling overwhelmed by everything. I have to work and study at the same time but, recently, my work is taking more time than I expected. I also have some personal issues, including a health problem. Therefore, I am falling behind all the classes I registered for.

Can I come by your office for a consultation tomorrow at 9.30 am? Please let me know if that fits your schedule. If not, please let me know when you are free to talk.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Jane Doe

I am John Doe, a student in your Wednesday Eng Bus Writ class section 1. I am writing to ask for your advice regarding my personal issues which affect my participation in your class. 

Recently, I have been struggling with my job’s schedule. Normally, I was supposed to work only 20 hours per week but lately my boss has me work 10 more hours. With this condition, I cannot manage my time effectively. Futhermore, I have a conflict with my roommate and have to move out from my appartment which requires time for replacing all my stuff. Beside, I have a health problem and need time to recover.

Due to these issues mentioned, I have missed classes often, failed to hand in assignments, and am generally falling behind. I would like to ask for the second chance because this is my favourite class and I do not want to withdraw this course. I feel the need to talk to you in person to discuss about this in further detail. Would you mind if I drop by your office at 17.00 on the 3rd of September?

I am looking forward to your response.

Best regards, 
John Doe
