Cultural Tip
"Nee" and "glaub" are typical of everyday spoken German and are best avoided in formal writing or business emails. In a formal context you would say "Nein, ich glaube, das deckt alles ab." Also, remember that separable verbs like "abdecken" always place the prefix at the end of the clause in the present tense.
