You have been tasked with a large marketing project at your work. It was scheduled to be finished next week, but due to reduced staff (a member of your team went out on unexpected medical leave), the project has fallen behind schedule.

Part 1: Write a minimum 250-word email to your client informing them of the current progress of the project, and how you are behind schedule. Include how you plan to resolve the issue and when the project will be completed. Consider how you would convey your message by considering both the rhetorical triangle and word choice.
