Emailing on HR topics practice

Choose words from the left-hand column and right-column below related to HR, then say what you would write in an email matching those words, including the whole email from opening greeting to your name at the end. You can be someone writing to the HR department or the HR department writing to a person or people. Your partner will listen to your email, then say what they would write in a reply (even when a reply is maybe not common). Reply to their email if necessary, and continue the exchange until a natural ending. Then take turns starting other email exchanges related to HR in the same way.
