You will create a document that has:

• an email to a teacher asking about grades and attendance
• the financial aid office about your scholarship or your loan
• a prospective employer to follow up about a job
• to request help on a project or business venture

Some tips:

1. Make sure your email address isnt something inappropriate or bizarre, so the receiver knows who they are receiving the email from
2. The subject line is a word or phrase that summarizes what the email is about
3. In the email, address the person respectfully by using Mr., Mrs. or Dr., Sir, To whom it may concern, etc.
4. Use formal language (no slang or contractions. Spell words out! Ima, gonna, cuz, and words like that will NOT WORK)
5. Watch your tone! You win more bees with honey. Negative or disrespectful tone will not help you achieve what you want. There is a difference between persistent and pushy.
6. In the body of the email, get straight to the POINT
7. End with phrases like: Respectfully, With kindness, Kindest Regards or something similar
8. Make sure that words that are supposed to be capitalized are! Check all your grammar and writing conventions. Spelling IS important.
