I don't often receive or write emails like this, except to confirm an appointment.
Actually, I never receive emails like this. I just get phone calls to confirm an appointment.

Yes, I often receive emails from recruitment when I apply for jobs. They sent emails about the appointment with the interviewer. Then I often write emails to confirm the meeting. Also, I sometimes write emails to take leave.
Thanks for your lesson.
Great site.
When confirming an appointment, I usually do it by phone. Nowadays, I think it is also common to confirm your appointments just by a single click of a button. This lesson, however, was very helpful as it can be useful in the future.
Yes, I received an email when I applied for a Job. They sent me an email to confirm your appointment for the interview. I replied to that email and wrote about the salary and other work detail.
No I don’t, I’m actually working at a company and I’m not looking for a new job, but
sometimes I need to write this kind of emails to providers when we need to hire some
services at the company. In that case we use to set an appointment with an account
manager to specify our needs and to ask for costs.
Thanks for the lesson.
Great site!
