Subject: Proposal
From: Sarah sarah.writes@gmail.com
To: Mark mark.workmate@yahoo.com
Hi Mark,
I apologize for the tension I have concerned our relationship with as of late. I was thinking it would be beneficial (given the project) for us to talk and discuss with each other in a more collaborative environment. How about we set aside some time to discuss strategies for improving teamwork and communication? I believe working together harmoniously will ultimately benefit the project's success. I apologize for my previous attitude, I am just trying to keep life as simple as can be.
Looking forward to your thoughts,
Sarah

Sarah,
I genuinely appreciate your initiative in suggesting this, it means a lot to me. I agree that improving our teamwork and such is important in the long run, and it will benefit us both since work has been such a time consumer as of late. We should schedule to meet sometime soon.
Regards,
Mark

Hey Mark,
In light of our efforts to improve team dynamics, how about we take a break from work and grab a coffee together? It might provide us with an opportunity to connect on a personal level and give some insight to how to approach the rest of our time as coworkers.
Looking forward to catching up,
Sarah

Hi Mark,
I wanted to express my gratitude for meeting me for coffee the other day. It was refreshing to have a casual chat outside of work. I believe moments like these strengthen our bond as colleagues. Looking forward to more opportunities to connect outside the office.

Sarah,
I couldn't agree more. It was really nice (for me) to be able to finally sit down and relax with someone I enjoy, and someone who deals with the same things I have to, and can relate with me, lol. I'd love to continue our positive working relationship as we go.
Thanks,
Mark

Subject: An invitation for you,
From: Mark MarkInRealLife@gmail.com

Hi Sarah,
I thoroughly enjoyed our coffee break, and I was thinking it could be nice to continue our talk over a dinner sometime. Would you be interested in joining me for that this weekend? I believe it'd be a great opportunity to have fun and relax, while getting to know each other outside of work. It's perfectly fine if you'd rather not though, I still appreciate our professional relationship.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Mark

This feels so realistic - the formal work emails becoming gradually informal and friendly. It's easy to stress out over group projects, especially before you know you can rely on the other person. I picked this prompt too... such a fun way to tell as story. Really well done!

The switch to more casual e-mails was a great detail. Great job !

I can relate to this. I liked the way the formal emails changed to something infinitely more friendly.
