Hi,
I hope this is the right list. I’m having trouble with the spreadsheet I’m using to fill in my work hours.
Can you please help?
Thanks,
John

Hey guys,
The timesheet mailing list goes out to everyone in the company – that’s thousands of people around the world. Please reply to the original person only, instead of replying all.

I had problems with my timesheet a few months ago and Frannie helped me out. She should be able to help you as well.

Hi, this is Fred. I’m monitoring Frannie’s inbox while she’s on leave. Perhaps you should contact IT for help.
