From: Moe Sloe
To: Professor Smith
Date: Thursday, Dec. 14, 2018 1:06 PM
Hey, Mrs. Smith, this is Moe saying hello! I was concerned about my grade in class. I'm not too sure how many days I missed, but I was recently informed by one of my peers that I may have missed 7+ days. I know that if this is accurate I may receive a 0.0 in the class. If so, could you please take this into consideration: although most of those days that I missed class was of pur laziness, in total honesty, at least 3 of those days, including the last day, I was under the weather. By the way, as a result of missing a day a while ago, I was not too sure how to put up a webpage and therefore will not be posting my paper on my page since it's nonexistent. Anyway, I hope that your Christmas goes well and have a good vacation.
Moe Sloe
PS. If I can get some help anytime soon, I'll try to get my webpage up and finished before Frieday.
