英文メールの書き方：社内に注意喚起する
こんなシチュエーション、お仕事でありませんか？
新種のコンピューターウイルスが出回り始めました。社内の人間が巧みな手口に騙されないように、メールで注意喚起したい。
英語メールで「社内に注意喚起する」お手本を動画でチェック！
こちらの動画では、伝えるべきメッセージとニュアンスを書き手が考えているところから、以下の内容のメールを実際に英語で書く様子までをご覧いただけます。

みなさま、
新種のコンピューターウイルスが世界規模で出回っているとIT部から報告がありました。いつも通りスパムメールの形式を取りますが、以下がその巧妙な手口になります：
これらのスパムメールには非常に美味しそうな料理の写真が同封され、受信側のタイムゾーン内でのお昼時間の少し前に一斉送信されるようです。誤って写真をクリックしてしまうと、コンピューターが即座にウイルスに感染します。
以上の特徴からわかる通り、非常に危険なウイルスです。グルメな写真が添付された送信者不明のメールは、絶対に開封しないようお願い申し上げます。
（コンピューターウイルスは架空のものです）

今後の仕事での英語メールの参考になれば幸いです。

Hi everyone! Welcome to E-mail Picks. Have you
been well? Last month was terrible in
0:00:10.950,0:00:16.080
terms of health because everyone in our
company was catching a cold or the flu
0:00:16.080,0:00:20.670
or some other virus.
Now speaking of viruses, the IT
0:00:20.670,0:00:24.600
department told me this morning that
there was a dangerous computer virus
0:00:24.600,0:00:31.529
going around. So it goes like this: you
receive a spam e-mail around 11:15, just
0:00:31.529,0:00:36.899
before lunchtime for many people and in
the e-mail there is a photo of a super
0:00:36.899,0:00:42.690
delicious-looking hamburger. That's it. So
you're feeling hungry and the photo
0:00:42.690,0:00:48.239
looks good, so if you click it... bam! Your
computer is infected with a virus.
0:00:48.239,0:00:54.329
Now that is a very powerful virus that not
only destroys a computer, but also your
0:00:54.329,0:00:58.890
feelings. You know you were expecting to
get information on where you can find
0:00:58.890,0:01:05.339
that mystery burger, and instead you get
a distasteful computer virus. That my
0:01:05.339,0:01:11.189
friends, is pure evil. So anyway, I want to
alert my colleagues about this new virus
0:01:11.189,0:01:17.869
spy e-mail before there is any damage on
our computers, our data, or our feelings.
0:01:17.869,0:01:25.320
Here goes: Hello, all. The IT department has
kindly notified us about a new wave of
0:01:25.320,0:01:29.520
computer viruses quickly spreading
across the globe. They take the form of
0:01:29.520,0:01:34.860
spam e-mail as usual, but here's what
makes them deadly: these e-mails contain
0:01:34.860,0:01:39.090
very well-shot photos of tasty-looking
dishes and are sent out just before
0:01:39.090,0:01:43.590
lunch time of the recipient's time zone.
If the recipient clicks on the photo, the
0:01:43.590,0:01:47.549
computer gets infected with the virus
immediately. As you can imagine from the
0:01:47.549,0:01:51.810
description above, this is a very
dangerous virus. Please take caution when
0:01:51.810,0:01:58.950
opening e-mails with gourmet pictures
from unknown senders. Okay, so in my first
0:01:58.950,0:02:03.810
paragraph, I'm just giving the background
information for this other e-mail. The
0:02:03.810,0:02:09.090
second paragraph is a description of the
spam e-mail, but notice that I used a
0:02:09.090,0:02:12.450
colon to connect the first and second
paragraphs?
0:02:12.450,0:02:17.430
Colon's are useful when you want to
write details in this e-mail. The colon
0:02:17.430,0:02:23.040
makes it clear that the second paragraph
is the details for "here's what makes
0:02:23.040,0:02:28.590
them deadly." And in my last paragraph, I
used a very common phrase -- "please take
0:02:28.590,0:02:33.390
caution when..." this is to
alert everyone about the risks of
0:02:33.390,0:02:38.880
opening e-mails from unknown senders with
unknown hamburgers. So there is my alert
0:02:38.880,0:02:44.240
e-mail. You watch out too. Alright, so thank
you for watching. I'll see you next week.
