If you have time, please could you listen to my presentation for next week?

See you later

I would like to ask you, could you teach me how to use it, when you have free time. Your parents were so proud of you. Wish you the best and success in the future.

I think you always have to take an opportunity and congratulate your colleagues when they deserved that. Why? Well, each of us likes to receive admiration. Especially when we worked hard. It's a easy way to motivate people and good opportunity to create good team relationships

Hi Breno, I'm writing to congratulate you about the first chapter of your thesis. First, the subject is well treated: you thought in a rigorous way about the concepts you use for illuminating your arguments. You also articulate the ideas in a comprehensive and clear manner, which makes possible for the reader to follow the text without getting confused. I'm not saying It's an easy argument. Actually, I'm saying the opposite: it's a complex and rich reading of the work of Eça de Queirós, and your way of presenting it puts the reader to think with you. Could you read the first chapter of my thesis, when It's ready? It would really help me. Speak soon, Clarissa

I think that the people who work with us must always be exalted for their effort and work, thus generating comments and always maintaining a positive attitude.
