0 Hi there, could someone check these two emails and tell me if there is something wrong with them and why. I'm especially concerned with the usage of present perfect vs. past simple.02br

001. Please let me know if you managed to prepare a complete list of works connected with my interests. I'm running out of time due to the fact that I have to finish my work 02br
00untill the end of April and I'd like to photocopy some articles included in box8. Thank you,02br

002. Thank you for his e-mail. I've heard that he took a somewhat controversial stance on various subjects connected with folklore but I know nothing more about it... so hopefully I'll know more once I get in touch with him.02br

003. Thank you so much for your answers. I'm obliged to you for answering my questions and for spending time on them. I'm sorry about my slow reply, but my computer (actually the system) has crashed. Fortunately I've not lost any data. I've already asked the staff to search for all papers concerning the topic and anything connected with it. I've also asked them to search for information about black music influences on the genre in genera. If everything goes well, I'll have access that material. Hope, everything goes fine...02br

00I used that tense form to reflect that fact that it has some pertinence to the present (situation) in some way. Sorry for not being specific.0-
