Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) | | German term or phrase: abdecken | Zunächst sage ich Ihnen verbindlich zu, die in Ihrem Briefing PR Agency B&K Tasks 1 –14 abzudecken bzw. abdecken zu können.
I find the entire sentence quite confusing with the verbs sagen zu and abzudecken together and then abdecken as well!!!!
Any help appreciated. |
| | | Fulfill | Explanation:
Fulfill the tasks.
N.B. Zusagen is "promise" or the like.
The last part is "will fulfill (abzudecken) or, as the case may be, "can fulfill" (abdecken zu können). |

| abzudecken (here) carry out
Explanation:
I find it a strange sentence, too, and it looks as though there's a verb (along the lines of genannt) missing between Briefing and PR Agency...
This *might* get the meaning across:
First of all, I engage to carry out the PR Agency B&K Tasks 1-14 listed in your briefing.

13 hrs confidence: |
| to cover (see below)
Explanation:
in the sense of covering this task, i.e., taking care of the job.
so the phrase might read something like this:
...to cover tasks 1-4, or to have it covered, if possible...
