Subject Line: Paper and Curveballs.
Hey Professor, Yikes. I do appreciate the note – and I’ll hope for good things for you. It’s got to get better from here, right? Prof M ————- I like my professor.
I am currently sitting in the nearby starbucks, abusing caffeine and using up their wifi, because I recently moved and do not have the Internet installed yet. A week ago, my family and I found out that our apartment was infested with bed bugs. We called the exterminators and after their visit, some of our important assets and documents (SS card, passports, etc) are missing. The police reporting and unpacking are continuing to take up my entire weekend. I understand the deadline and expectations for this rough draft, but I have the feeling that I will not have a complete, substantial rough draft by the deadline. However, I understand how this can affect my grade and I will do my best tonight, before I go back to the precinct for the hundredth time, to make it as complete as possible. My reason for writing you this email is to, at the very least, let you know why my rough draft might turn out to be really crappy, instead of just handing it in without a side-note.
Thank you for reading this,
Kiko Nakadai
