An email you can adapt
The subject “Contribution plan for [group assignment]” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.
Subject: Contribution plan for [group assignment] Hello team, Before we begin [assignment], let us check the course’s collaboration rules and agree who will handle [components]. Please confirm your proposed contribution and any dependency by [date]. We should keep a clear record of sources and review the combined work together, rather than assume one person can verify everyone’s section. If a task crosses the permitted collaboration boundary, we should ask the instructor before proceeding. Best, [sender]

What a useful reply should settle
