Start with a positive comment, then gently suggest for improvement. Show that you care and want to help, not criticize. Hi, Caitlyn It’s been a while since I uploaded my homework. Honestly, I’ve been feeling exhausted and drained last week, and I thought this week would be better, but it still feels the same. I have a meeting with my manager during lunch today to talk about it, so I probably won’t be able to join class. I just wanted to let you know in advance. If you see this message, please consider today’s class canceled. I’ll definitely join tomorrow! Thanks always.

Hi, Elena!
