Basic Structure of An Email

1. Subject Line
2. Greeting
3. Body
4. Wrap Up
5. Sign Off

1. Subject Line

Come up with a clear subject line for your email that explains in a few words what your email is about. Definitely don't leave the subject line blank.

2. Greeting

If you don't know the reader well, always open your email with a formal email greeting.

• Dear ,

If you're reaching out to start a new relationship, then you should use their surname.

• Dear Ms./Mrs./Mr. , or Professor/Dr.

If your relationship with the person is more casual, it's okay to use a more friendly salutation.

1. • Hi/Hello ,

3. Body

If you are initiating communication, you need to introduce or identify yourself. Be sure to include your full name, and explain who you are. If you're writing a professor, include your class, and section number.

• My name is and I am a student in your English 1A class, section 20154 this Fall semester.

Then state your purpose.

• I am writing to ask about [X].
• I am writing regarding [X].

Be clear about your purpose at the top of the first paragraph, then move onto the email's main body text. Get your point across quickly by keeping your sentences concise.

• Remain formal in your tone. Remember, this is not a text message. Generally you want to avoid using abbreviations, slang, or emojis.
• Be polite. "Please" and "thank you" always go a long way. It never hurts to add a line wishing them a great weekend or good afternoon!

4. Wrap Up

After you have gotten your main point across, it's a good idea to thank your reader and add polite closing remarks.

• Thanks for your consideration.
• Thank you for your time.
• Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

After this, continue to finish off your closing paragraph politely.

• I look forward to hearing from you.
• If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out.

5. Sign Off

The last step is to sign-off. Choose a closing that feels genuine to your personality and tailor it to the relationship to ensure an appropriate level of professionalism.

Some options include:

• Sincerely,
• Kind regards,
• Best wishes,
• Respectfully,
• Thank you
