How It Helps Your Business English
Phrase lists by situation: asking for help, giving an update, answering a request and saying you are away in chat; then starting a call, joining the conversation, asking for clarification, agreeing, disagreeing politely and closing a call. Ten abbreviations are spelled out. A written update is laid out under what I did, what I am working on and blockers, with four difficult moments at the end.
You can take a line straight from the list that matches your situation and change only the names and dates. The abbreviation list tells you what a colleague means by EOD, OOO or LGTM before you have to answer. The disagreeing and clarification phrases give you wording that stays courteous, and the written update structure shows you where to put each part so a reader in another time zone needs no second message.
