    Hi Olivia,

    This is very good. I have some tips for you:

    1. TONE:

    I hope this finds you in great shape! > This is nice, but perhaps too informal. A more formal version could be: I hope this finds you well.

    2. GRAMMAR:

    > I understood you would HAVE submitED it to me yesterday.

    > Perhaps I HADN’T not made myself clear in what was needed in the report.

    (You will look at these tenses in detail in the ‘Tell Interesting Stories’ course. However, let me know if you need any clarification)
