I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to provide an update on the project I've been working on and seek your feedback. As you know, the project is due by the end of the month, and I'm on track to meet the deadline.

I've attached a summary of the project's progress to date, including the tasks completed and those still outstanding. I'd appreciate any feedback you have on the project's direction and any suggestions you may have for improvement.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards, [Your Name]
