Description
Three sessions, six broken emails, and a skill that shows up in every job your student will ever have.
It starts obvious: a sick call sent at 6:52 a.m., a reference request with no context. It ends subtle — a polished interview thank-you with a copy-paste error inside it, a defensive reply to an upset customer, and a reply-all where no edit fixes the problem because the right answer is a different message to a different person.
Every email comes with a model rewrite and an explanation, so you can discuss the work without having written a professional email in years.
