<p>Dear Meg, </p>
<p>thank you for reminding us and sending the invitation. </p>
<p>Some feedback, to be continued in the meeting :) : </p>
<p><br>
- In general I think it looks good, I like the minimalism and the
addition of the schedule </p>
<p>- What about a question mark at the end of the title? It's
already an interrogative sentence, but I think the question mark
better conveys the idea of a provoking question;<br>
</p>
<p>- I'd fix the alignment of the schedule on the second page. Are
you doing this on Canva or another editable document? so I can
correct these tiny details instead of bugging you with them :) </p>
<p>Best, <br>
Giulia</p>
