Subject: My work load
Mr. Wells,
As mentioned in my previous email, I fear I’m not doing enough to “earn my keep.” When you hired me a month ago, you indicated you would slowly ramp up my duties as your virtual assistant.
I have now had more than enough time to settle into the job. I am ready and eager to do more work. Please let me know what else I can do to be of service. I know I’m young, but I’m eager to learn!
Sincerely,
Ms. Breit

Your current work is more than adequate.

Mr. Wells,
I am aware that my work is adequate. I strive to be more than adequate. I believe my business and marketing degree, while not from a fancy university, has prepared me to be an invaluable member of your team.
I have reviewed the company portfolio that was included in my original hire package as well as the website for the Wells IHI parent company and your additional subsidiaries. I have created a list of additional duties I feel I can perform. Please see the attached document.
Perhaps we could meet in person to discuss my duties if there is money in the travel budget for me to come to you.
Sincerely,
Ms. Breit

An in-person visit is out of the question. As is a Zoom meeting.
As I stated before, I am happy with your current work.
If it would make you feel better, I can email you a to do list at the beginning of each week.
