“I just read your article submission for the newsletter. You need to fix it. You misspelled several words, and some of your facts are wrong. You need to make the corrections by Friday. "

Revised version

I received your article for the newsletter. There are a few factual errors and several misspelled words. Please take a few moments to review it. Friday is the deadline for submission of any corrections. Thanks.

“Friendly” Version

I just finished looking over your article for the newsletter and caught a few typos. I also found what I think are contradictions to a few of the facts listed. If you are able to review it before Friday I'll still be able to get it to the printer before the deadline. Thanks!"
