• Your greeting
• A pleasantry
• Your purpose
• A call to action
• A closing message
• Your signature

• If your relationship is very casual, you can even say, “Hi Gabe”.
• If you don’t know the name of the recipient, you can use: “To whom it may concern” or “Dear Sir/Madam”.
• If you are composing an email to a group of recipients who you have included in the To field and require a response from, greet them as a group (if the number of recipients is four or greater) or include each of their names in the greeting.
• If you are sending an email with Cc’s, simply address the group as a whole if you have a great number of recipients, otherwise include each recipient’s name in the greeting.
• If you are sending an email with BCC’s, address the group as a whole by opening with something like, “Hi all”.
• If you are emailing someone for the first time, keep introductions brief and let them know who you are in one sentence. For example: “It was great to meet you at [X event].”
• If you are not sure if an introduction is necessary and you’ve contacted the recipient before, but you’re not sure if they remember you, you can leave your credentials in your email signature.

a – Make sure you have a short and long professional English signature.

State the reason for your email

• “I am writing to inquire about …”
• “I am writing in reference to …”
• “Please take the time to look over these changes and offer me your feedback…”

Add your closing. To keep your emails professional, end your email with another thank you to your reader or a formal goodbye such as:

• “Thank you for your patience and cooperation”
• “Thank you for your consideration”
• “If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to let me know”
• “I look forward to hearing from you”.
• End your email with a proper closing before your name, like “Best regards” or “Sincerely”
• Avoid casual closings like “Cheers” unless you are good friends with the reader, as these types of closings are less professional.
