Dear Ellie,
since this is a really busy month for me, I will likely not be able to submit a report before next month. Also, I do not understand why we are getting forced into deadlines, a report written in big hurry will never be as valuable.
Thanks for understanding, Leon

Well, such is life. There are deadlines. Usually because we do not exist in a vacuum all by ourselves. Other people need to plan their work as well. And while a report "written in a big hurry" may not be useful, a report written a long time after an event when your memories are not fresh anymore won't be useful either. And three weeks time for a half page report is hardly a big hurry.

This is about twice the amount of time given for regular TPS grants (I mixed them up because I couldn't find the info at the time), which only give two weeks. The things aren't required to be long, however, just give some info on the thing and its impact.

Because (from my experience of asking for and being asked for reports), if there's no deadlines or if the deadlines are not enforced, the reporting wouldn't actually happen more often than not.

Dear Ellie I'm extremely sorry for the delay in writing the report I had problems with my laptop and it was so hard to write with mobile phone. I received my laptop today and will write it either tonight or tomorrow morning Accept my apologies again.
Regards, Ravan
