    How it works

    This clause uses the indirect object pronoun 'me' (to/for me) followed by the third-person singular preterite form of the verb 'llegar' (llegó) and the postposed grammatical subject 'un correo electrónico'. In Spanish, verbs of arrival and occurrence often place the subject after the verb when combined with an indirect object pronoun denoting the recipient.
