Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

iii. Here are some tips on how to politely resend an email:
1. **Start by apologizing.** Even if the email wasn't your fault, it's always a good idea to start by apologizing. This shows that you're aware of the inconvenience and that you're taking steps to fix it.
2. **Explain what happened.** If you know why the email didn't send, explain it to the recipient. This will help them understand why you're resending the email and that it's not a mistake.
3. **Include the original email.** If possible, include the original email in your resend. This will save the recipient the trouble of having to find it again.
4. **Ask for confirmation.** Once you've sent the resend, ask the recipient to confirm that they received it. This will help you to ensure that the email was received and that it didn't get lost in the shuffle.
Here is an example of a polite email you could send:
Subject: Resending Email
Hi [Name],
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I'm resending the email I sent you earlier today. The original email didn't send due to a technical error.
I've attached the original email for your reference.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
