Hello everyone. Welcome to E-mail Picks. Say, have you ever been asked to make a
0:00:09.389,0:00:13.290
speech or presentation at the last
minute? You know, at a company event or
0:00:13.290,0:00:18.840
a party. I had never had that happen to
me before until today. I was asked to
0:00:18.840,0:00:23.850
make a short presentation at an HR event
I was invited to. I thought I was just
0:00:23.850,0:00:27.960
going to go there and have a good time,
but apparently they were expecting me to
0:00:27.960,0:00:32.309
speak. If I'm gonna do it I want to do a
good job. So I'm trying to prepare slides
0:00:32.309,0:00:36.930
for it right now, but I realized that I
didn't even know how many minutes I was
0:00:36.930,0:00:42.059
allowed to speak for, or whether the
topic I was thinking of talking about
0:00:42.059,0:00:46.320
would be appropriate for the
purpose of the event. So today, I'm going
0:00:46.320,0:00:49.770
to write to the event organizer to
confirm some details about the
0:00:49.770,0:00:55.680
presentation I'm going to make. So here
goes. Dello Melinda, I have a quick
0:00:55.680,0:00:59.219
question about the presentation I'm
going to make at event. Is there a time
0:00:59.219,0:01:02.789
limit to the presentation? I was thinking
of making mine five minutes or seven
0:01:02.789,0:01:07.500
minutes long. I'm planning to give a talk
with the title "About ink painters, chefs,
0:01:07.500,0:01:11.100
and removing labels from your career."
Does this sound like something your
0:01:11.100,0:01:14.369
guests would be interested in
listening to? Please let me know! And
0:01:14.369,0:01:17.490
thank you again for the opportunity. I
will do my best to make it something
0:01:17.490,0:01:23.490
worthwhile for everyone. Kyota. OK, so I
went right to the point by starting off
0:01:23.490,0:01:28.710
the e-mail with "I have a quick question."
Now notice I'm asking only yes/no
0:01:28.710,0:01:33.090
questions like "Is there a time limit to
the presentation?" and "Does this sound
0:01:33.090,0:01:38.700
like something your guests will be
interested in?" It's because if I ask 5W1H
0:01:38.700,0:01:40.989
questions, it would sound too direct.
0:01:40.989,0:01:43.649
For example if I wrote "What's the time limit?"
0:01:43.649,0:01:47.820
or "What do you think?" it would sound too direct and it wouldn't give a good
0:01:47.820,0:01:52.829
impression. So here's a nice and short
and friendly e-mail to confirm details of
0:01:52.829,0:01:57.869
a request you got. So wish me luck with
my presentation. So that's it for today.
0:01:57.869,0:02:01.520
Thanks for watching and I'll see you
next week.
