| Dear Ms. Larson You recently set Allison, Ken, and I in a team to develop an e-catalog of Brooks products. Unfortunately this has not been a well rounded team experience. Ken has not shown the effort necessary for this project. He has missed meetings; when he does come he shows up late and requests Allison and I to recieve the information from other sources. I can forward you two emails I have that were sent to Allison regarding Ken's disinterest. We do not want to come off as accusers , but this client is important to us. We have adressed the issue to Ken, but turned out to have no good outcome. If you have any ideas, please email or call me back at your convience. Michelle |

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteYou appropriately transition into discussing the issue with Ms. Larson, with good professionalism in the language. And you end with a nice request, which you might want to make more imperative (more necessary) rather than "at your convenience." If the issue is large and will affect the business, don't imply in your asking for help that the issue can wait. Instead, nicely request her assistance quickly, noting that she needs to step in since Ken is not responding.
Avoid this kind of wishy-washy, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining..."We do not want to come off as accusers , but this client is important to us. We have adressed the issue to Ken, but turned out to have no good outcome." Instead, turn the focus off of yourself and unto Ken not doing his job, and how that is affecting the company, and the group project.
