Ask a coworker to swap a Saturday shift

Writing Task 1: Writing an Email
Time remaining: 27 minutes 00 seconds

Your cousin is getting married in Vancouver on the last Saturday of this month, and you have just noticed that you are scheduled to work at the coffee shop that day. Your coworker Mira usually works weekdays, and she has helped you out before.

Write an email to your coworker and friend, Mira in about 150–200 words. Your email should do the following things:

  • Tell Mira why you need that Saturday off.
  • Ask her to switch shifts, and say which of her shifts you could take in return.
  • Suggest a way to thank her for her help.
