Répondez s'il vous plaît (RSVP)
Lately I have been sending emails that never get responses. I would be happy to just get a “yup” or “ok” in response.
Did my email ever arrive in their Inbox? Did it end up in their spam folder? Do I need to include RSVP? Do I need to request a delivery receipt?
Even if they plan a more detailed response later, they could at least tell me that with, “I’ll get back to you on this.”
