Read Along 5: Tips for Writing E-mails

The Title of your E-mail

The title (subject) is one of the most important parts of your email. Follow these instructions and you’ll improve your chances of getting quick and positive replies:

1-Keep the subject short and clear

2-The recipient should be able to know what the email is about just from reading the title, so be as specific as possible.

3-The title should include a motivational element that encourages the reader to open the email without delay.

The Content of Your E-mail

1-Get straight to the point – if you need to provide background details, be as precise as possible.

2-Be as clear and specific as possible.

3-Avoid unnecessary repetition

4-Ask yourself: “will the reader be able to easily and quickly understand exactly what I want?”

5-Be direct – this saves your time and the reader’s time and he or she will certainlyappreciate this.

6-Be polite!
