I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to update you on my recent fieldwork experiences in Peru, which were indeed rather different than anticipated in the research design plan you approved – as fieldwork typically goes, as well as seek your guidance on a few matters.
Dear Team, As you’re traveling to your fieldwork location by train, bus, or plane, I’m finally able to formally tell you: forget everything we’ve discussed about this research project, even what you’ve written down in your research plan, which – I know, I know – you’ve worked so diligently on for months. The plan that I, as your supervisor, ultimately signed off on with a signature that means “this is a good plan”.
