A useful follow-up records what was agreed and makes the next action clear.
The idea
Thank the recipient, then state why you are writing. Summarize decisions with ことで合意しました, name the person responsible and use までに for the deadline. Close with a polite request to check or correct the summary.
Examples
- 本日は、お打ち合わせのお時間をいただき、ありがとうございました。Thank you for meeting with us today.
- 協議した内容を確認するため、ご連絡いたしました。I am writing to confirm the points discussed.
- 提案を修正することで合意しました。We agreed to revise the proposal.
- 修正した資料は金曜日までに私からお送りします。I will send the revised document by Friday.
- スケジュールをご確認いただけますでしょうか。Could you please check the schedule?
- 誤りがございましたら、お知らせください。Please let me know if anything is incorrect.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Japanese voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Japanese device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
Do not present an undecided proposal as an agreement. までに gives a deadline, while まで describes continuation up to a time; verify names and dates before sending.
