Language tip
Use the present continuous tense to talk about what you are doing now,
for example, I am writing to ask about ... and to talk about future plans, for
example, On May 3, Lowis Engineering is organizing ... .
In formal emails use the uncontracted forms, for example, I am writing ... not I'm
writing ... or I would be grateful ... not I'd be grateful ... .
See page 149 for more information on the present continuous.
