    EMAIL WRITING

    Email writing involves composing, sending, storing and receiving messages over an
    electronic communication system. An email stands for an electronic mail. Email writing
    is preferred over other forms of communication as it is cheaper and faster.

    Features of an email
    1. The Subject (Title): Adding a subject to your email is vital.
    2. The Greeting: The different email greetings in English depend on whether you are
    addressing an individual you know, a person you don't know, or a collective (an
    organization, team, or anonymous email address, for example). If you know a
    person's full name, you should use it. So, instead of "Dear Mrs. Roberts", you
    would write: ‘‘Dear Sarah Roberts,’’

    Some schools of thought suggest using "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam" if you don't
    know the person you're writing to. However, it is viewed as inappropriate. This is
    outdated and unnecessary. If you cannot find a person's full name (make enquiry
    about the person’s identity online), find another way to address them.

    If you're addressing a group, find a way of engaging them suitably, such as:
    Dear Team,
    Dear Marketing Directorate,
    Dear Complaints Team,

    3. Email body: The body of an email is where you explain what the message is all
    about. There are no hard and fast rules because each email is slightly different.
    Still, there is a natural flow for information in a formal English email: Introduce
    yourself – a name, job title, and organization are much essential, explain why you
    are emailing – describe why are you contacting someone, say what you want – if
    you want something in return (a response, document, image, etc.), then ask for
    it. Next steps – describe what happens now, providing a timeframe. If you are
    expecting a reply, be clear when you expect one. Never leave your reader
    confused.

    4. Closing Line: The type of closing depends on whether you're writing a formal or
    an informal email. ‘‘Yours sincerely,’’ if informal while ‘‘Yours faithfully,’’ if
    formal.
    5. Email Signature.

    Email sample

    Subject line: Thank you for the interview

    Dear Jonah Hyman,

    Thank you for taking the time to interview me earlier this week. I have
    attached some additional information that you requested during our meeting.

    I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have or provide
    additional information required. I look forward to learning about the progress of
    my application and the next steps in the process.
