Dear Mamta,

I am concerned that your facing problem at your work place. This all situation was created due to miscommunication with your co- worker which leads to conflict between you and your supervision. I understand the whole scenario.

I have had the same incident at my job. We had to submit project on Monday morning, but me and my team member heard a wrong information due technical errors. We precised that project will be submitted on Monday evening. When we delivered the project in the evening, the boss started arguments with me, as I was the team leader. That situation was hard to handle for me; I did it very well.

I would suggest you the same what I did that time. You should communicate with your supervisor and explain the situation. Secondly, you can feel apologize for that and give him reassurance that this will not happen for next time. Everything will be okay at your work place.

I hope to get a positive response soon.

Your affectionately,

Jessica.
