a great way to establish a professional
tone for your emails is to begin each
one with the greeting and and with an
appropriate send-off you should place
your greeting in the body of the email
at the top not in the subject line
include the person or the people you're
addressing in the greeting also consider
your relationship to the person you're
messaging the further removed you are
say to a first-time client or a job
prospect the more formal your greeting
should be at the end of your email the
phrase you use to sign off has a hidden
purpose it gives your recipient a clue
about what you'd like them to do I look
forward to your response can help
reinforce the fact that you want your
recipient to write back while please
contact me if you have any questions is
a good way to finish up an email that
ask someone to complete a task
this sign-off indicates that you're
available to help if it's needed if
you're not sure what else to say best or
thanks can work in a pinch even if you
have a signature that automatically adds
your name to the end of your email type
your name out immediately below your
closing line just like hand signing a
physical letter in your automatic
signature add your full name title and
essential contact information work phone
number is good to include where as your
personal email and Instagram is not a
short quote is acceptable but leave out
images or other attachments that will
make it harder for others to read and
respond to your email it may also be the
case that there's a standard template
for your company so ask your manager
about it starting and ending your email
in a professional way will lead to more
respectful and productive exchanges and
remember to add a little variety to your
email openings and closings it gives
your messages more of a human touch
