Cultural Tip
In French business communication, *compter* conveys a slightly more formal, deliberate intention than *aller* (to go). It signals that you have thought through the action. Avoid using *je compte à* or *je compte sur* in this context, as they change the meaning to “count on” or “rely on”.
