English Exercise #9

Write a formal email to a customer/client explaining your role in your company and how you
can assist them with a new product or service.

Dear Mr. Rodriguez,

My name is Sol Bembibre I have been working in BTB agency for 2 years. As a Content
Manager, my role is supervising that our client’s content is generating the right awareness and
engagement in Social Media. In the first meetings with the clients and according to the product
that they are selling we set some KPI (Key Performace Indicator) and create an strategy to
achieve those indicators.
I am happy to assist you with any corcern that your company may have.
Warmly,

Write an informal email to a friend explaining your job and the products/services available
at the same company.

Hi, Nat.
How are you? I’m at the office right now. It’s a social media marketing agency. I’m managing
graphic designers and copy writers. It’s kind of difficult to explain but I’ll try: so, let’s say that a
company wants to sell online a product, so they call us and we set a campaign for them.
Making a campaign is a pain in the ass: some clients want a “cute design” but i’m the mean
person who has to tell them: “hey, if you want to sell, you have to pick another image”. Or
most of the times, they’re new companies who wants to earn 5 millions dollars in the first
month, so I’m the bitch who has to tell them: “impossible. no way”.
Anyways… it’s a pretty boring job, isn’t it?
See you soon!
Sol

Dear Savanah. I am writing this e-mail to know if there is any update about the meeting space

I am not so happy about the academic level of the subjects: English class dynamics were not
focused on speaking or writing; Mathematics courses were not remarkable. But I was really
happy about the great recreation center that they had in the rural zone. They were horses and
outdoors sports for teenagers.

healthy work and personal balance.
