Hi,

I want to follow-up on your progress with Project X. Can we have a meeting to discuss where we are since our last discussion three weeks ago?

Thanks,

Mari, what are you talking about? Your project is doable, but we need parameters.

This was regarding the conversation we had three weeks ago? Please see our super detailed conversation attached to this note. And, if you recall, we had a phone conversation where we discussed this email chain. Is this ringing a bell now?

Regards,

I need your request in writing to ensure the team understands what you are actually asking for.

Take care,
