SharePoint Reminder will run at 8:00 am in the morning and will send the following emails. No emails will be sent for "Budget Proposal..." as its due on the 10th February - plenty of time yet! An email for "Review Supplier Contracts" will be sent to Robert King reminding him that it is due shortly. An email for "Update Procedure Manual" will be sent to Anne Dodsworth and CC'd to Team.Leader - reminding her that the task is overdue (it was due on the 20th January). No email will be sent for "Recruit new Junior..." as its already been completed.
