[e-mail]

Oh no..... I am not feeling well. Could you take over for me?

Hi there, how are you? Thanks a lot for the information you have shared with me! Exactly what I needed.  

I have some bad news: I am not feeling well and I have just called the people from the podcast to cancel my visit!
They told me that they will still record the podcast and that they are on the lookout for a new guest to talk about eco-friendly bathrooms.

I told them that maybe you could help. If you could record the pitch that you have written for me, they can use that recording in the podcast. I know it's a lot to ask... but can you do this for me, please?
I promise I will make it up to you as soon as I feel a little better. I am sure that they will be very happy with your input, just like I was. Make sure it's suitable for the podcast (sound, pronunciation, lively tone etc.). Thanks!
