Dear Professor Brite -- Could you please take a look at the attached revision of my essay? Since this essay is still a work in progress, I'm not ready to hand it in for a grade. However, I'd appreciate your comments before I take a crack at revision. It's late, so I'm going to hit the sack now, but I will follow this e-mail up with a phone call tomorrow morning, or else I'll show up during your office hours.

Sincerely, Bob Bunford
