Task Instructions:

  1. Answer Emails: You have a queue of three customer emails. Your job is to respond to each email within your allotted time.

If the answer isn’t available in the documentation, consider what additional information you need from the member to resolve their query effectively.

  3. Demonstrate Empathy and Clarity: Your responses should reflect an understanding of the customer's perspective, adapting your language and tone to suit their level of technical proficiency.
