Let's write one memo together 

Je schrijft een memo aan je baas over een fout die je gemaakt heb.

TO: Mr Prescot

From: Emily Robins

DATE: 3 March 2021

SUBJECT: wrong price

1. Mr Prescott, ik heb een grote fout gemaakt.

Ik heb een verkeerde prijs gebruikt voor een camera.

Dat werd duidelijk omdat een klant zijn kassabon op de toonbank had laten liggen.

De klant had een Fuji camera gekocht en ik heb het prijskaartje van de Canon camera genomen.

De Fuji camera is 89 pond duurder.

Mag ik een nieuwe rekening sturen met de juiste prijs of heeft u een beter idee?

Moet ik de klant bellen en zeggen dat het mij spijt?

Kunt u mij zo snel mogelijk bellen?

Het spijt me heel erg. (je naam)

To: Mr Prescott

From: Emily Wilkins

Date: 1 March 2021

Subject: Wrong price

Mr Prescott, I've made a big mistake. I used the wrong price for a camera. It became clear/obvious because the customer left his receipt on the counter. The customer bought a Fuji camera but I scanned/used the price tag of a Canon camera. The Fuji camera is 89 pounds more expensive. Should I send a new invoice with the right price or do you have a better idea?

Should I call the customer and say that I'm sorry? Can you please call me as soon as possible? I'm really sorry. Emily
