This wolf in British Columbia took a break from eating herring roe to investigate a half-submerged object: the photographer’s camera

#2: "hi [professor], hope you're doing well! unfortunately, I'm [sick/stuck at work/dead] and won't be able to submit [assignment] by [due date]. could I please have an extension? if not, is there anything else I could do to make up this credit? thanks so much, [op]"

The FIRST SENTENCE is the thing you want the recipient to do. Do not make them guess.

I want to let you know about ... (This email is to inform someone of something not to ask them to do anything)

Could you please do ... (This is a request. You want them to do something).

I'm looking into x and wondering if you can help me (this is also a request but for information instead of an action).

People do not want to read an email and even if they do read it, most people are skimming and not interested. Tell them what you want first, then provide context or other information (when you need a thing is often key). If the email is informational, you can even add "you don't need to do anything, this is just to keep you informed!" People will appreciate not having to figure out what you want from them.

If you can't articulate what you want the recipient to do with the message, you are not ready to email them. I read too many emails where I have no idea what the person wants from me.

The horse following him is ZhuGe Liang, Liu Bei's advisor (you know because he's wielding a fan, which is his signature... tool, some games shows him use it as a weapon).

Also throughout this whole thing they're speaking mock archaic Chinese extremely badly.

Translation:

Liu Bei: I shall borrow the power of Guan Yu's sword! *Smacks the balls*

ZhuGe Liang: Your Majesty, this shot was dopeth as fuck! *Uses his fan to push a ball in* - Liu Bei: Ball #3 goes in the top left hole. *Scores correctly* ZhuGe Liang: Your Majesty, why is your sword so rusty? Liu Bei: This is the Blade of Tetanus! Ha ha ha. - Guan Yu: Big Brother, the horse seems hungry. *puts some hay on the table so the horse shoves all the balls into the hole as it eats* Liu Bei: What a good horse Di Lu (Liu Bei's horse) is! Scored so beautifully, how timely it knew to be hungry!
