Explanation:
"Nuk ka nevojë të më marrësh sot nga puna. Do të të telefonoj më vonë" - informal way

"Nuk ka nevojë të më merrni sot nga puna. Do t'ju telefonoj më vonë" - formal way

Explanation:
I can not find the word 'today' in the English version that was added to answer #1. The first sentence has the expression 'have to' which is changed in answer #1 to 'need to'. The second sentence is using 'I will' expressing a promise in English. This is not just a future tense and this way of expression does not exist in Albanian. For this reason the word 'patjetër' is added to my translation to express the promise given in the English version.
