You are a team leader in your company Customer Service Department. Your
department has a new team member joining in the next week, Ms. Nguyen Van Anh.
You need to write an email to your department to introduce her and facilitate her
integration.
Instructions:
You need to greet the recipients. In your email, try to use some vocabulary in
‘Useful Expressions’ or ‘Key Patterns’ where you think it is appropriate.
You need to cover the following points:
1. Introduction of Van Anh to everyone
- Mention her specialization or her background (remember to mention her email
address).
- Express how glad you are to have her join the team.
2. Customer Handover (to Van Anh)
- Ask Truong Khanh that she will be taking over communication with Mr. Trương
Chí Thanh and Ms. Đỗ Mai Thy.
- Briefly describe the demands and characteristics of these customers to give her
a heads-up.
+ Mr. Thanh (like prompt response, professional, everything needs to be clear)
+ Ms. Thy (friendly, casual, but usually asks questions)
3. Training Request (to Mr. Michael Scofield)
- Ask Michael to provide Van Anh with training.
- Note that the training should focus on the department’s procedures for handling
negative customer feedback or complaints about products.
+ APAC [Attentive – Polite – Acknowledge – Clarify] (actively listen to the customer
– use respectful language – confirm you’ve heard their issue – ask questions to
fully understand)
