Simple step-by-step explanation (for a 6-year-old)

  1. We fixed the sentence so it makes sense by adding the word chosen. That tells who we picked.
  2. We added a comma after final to make the sentence flow better.
  3. We changed hopefully to I hope (or reworded) so it sounds kinder and more clear.
  4. We added a subject line so Anita knows what the email is about before she opens it.
  5. We added a polite closing like Best regards or Sincerely and your name so it sounds professional.

If you want, tell me the name you want to use in the signature and the project name, and I will add them for you.
