Zoey
Hey Karsten! Could you send out an email to remind the clients about the meeting?
Sure. Should I make the subject “meeting reminder for April 10th?”
Yes. Please also attach the forms.
Got it! But, should I CC, BCC or forward it to you?
CC it please. We only BCC it when we want to hide someone’s email address.
OK! And if they email me back, should I reply or reply all?
It’s best if you reply all so everyone can see it.
Sounds good. Thanks for the help!
No problem!
