Hello Sales Team,

I’ve got an idea for next week – see the attached file. I’d like to hear what you think about my suggestion.
I think Hatem and Patricia may be interested, so I’ve copied them in too. Let’s talk more at the meeting next week.

Regards, Samir

Hello sir In task 2 : "Dear Mr Prabang, As we agreed, I am sending the contract as an attachment . It is a PDF file. Please let me know if you have any queries. Yours, Andrew Mortimer" In that sentence, can I use this word "questions" istead of " queries " ? And I have another question when you say link address like this http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/ielts-interview-skills/dont-get-over-emotional how do you pronounce "//"," / " and "- "in English? Thanks

"/" called slash

Hi XuMinHa,

Yes, you could say 'questions' instead of 'queries' and it would be fine and mean the same thing. '/' is pronounced 'slash', '//' is 'double slash' and '-' is 'dash' or 'hyphen'.

All the best,
