This email is regarding: [].

Class: MATH 7 ADVANCED Prd: 2 Teacher: []

-----------------------------------------------

Good evening, please check [] for missing work, complete it and submit it. Let me know if you have questions or need any help or anything opened up or more tries. Remember the Ch. 3 test due today. Thank you, Mrs. []

Thanks, David

I then replied:

Thanks! Only one thing: I don't have a son.
