Due to is too formal isn´t it? or is it just the word order that doesn´t work with it?

I would change "has got" to just "has".

Also, I'm not sure about in Britain, but in the US, if this is a professional e-mail we would never ever say anything about "hugs" in the closing. I wouldn't even ever say that in an e-mail to a friend, but that's just me.

Instead of supply teacher, I would use substitute teacher.
At least in American English, supply teacher wound not be understood.

Also: Let's try to arrange a date soon suitable for all our schedules.

I think the hug term is a matter of personal style that may not work for everyone, but ff it works for you and your associates, it's perfectly OK.

A supply teacher is a perfectly understood expression in BrE.

I've never heard of "supply teacher". I assumed it was industry specific. I'm a teacher, so I suppose I'm in the same industry. Hmmm.... Definitely not a US-English term....

Well, the chances are that Robin is speaking to someone in Europe, otherwise they have a long journey for a coffee later . The system is well established in the UK that when a regular teacher goes sick or for some reason the school needs a temporary teacher to step in at a moment's notice, they hire one instantly from companies which supply teachers on a daily basis, (hence the name, I suppose). It is very well paid, I believe, but must be awful work because they never know in advance what classes they will be confronted with. Perhaps another member here has direct experience.

It's the same concept here ... except that they are very poorly paid, and called "substitute teachers" instead. I have done substitute teaching, and it is the worst part-time job I ever had (including working as a cashier). Ack!
