This mail is written to you to inform you that I have conducted a meeting with the project team to discuss with them the importance of CI initiatives. They all accurately understand the importance of CI in the organization. But I also think there are various areas of improvement that we need to be concerned including conducting business and time management. If these will considered then our management will be appropriate and it will lead to an increase in productivity. 

I request you to kindly consider my points and share your constructive feedback.

With regards,

Project Manager.
