I have seen many people having problem with using email, especially from my classmates.
|
||||
Writing email is an important skill, and knowing how to write email properly is respecting
|
||||
the recipient.
|
||||
|
||||
In this article I am writing about:
|
||||
|
||||
- Structure of a good email
|
||||
- Information you should include in an email
|
||||
- What not to include in an email
|
||||
|
||||
It also includes my email preference. If you violate too many red flags I stated here I probably won't read your mail.
|
||||
|
||||
# Email Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a generic email structure:
|
||||
|
||||
[Tag] Subject
|
||||
|
||||
Greeting: Hi/Dear [name]/Sir/Madame/To whom it may concern,
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Elaboration
|
||||
|
||||
Regards
|
||||
|
||||
Signature
|
||||
|
||||
## Subject
|
||||
|
||||
Some people find it hard to come up with a good email subject.
|
||||
|
||||
## Greeting
|
||||
|
||||
It's not a problem for most people, though I have personally received many emails without greeting.
|
||||
An email is not a private message, and even for private message you probably should do a greeting
|
||||
before a conversation as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Note:
|
||||
|
||||
- Hi/Hello is informal, so you probably should avoid it if you don't know the person.
|
||||
- You could include the person's title (e.g., Dr.) if you like and the other person is comfortable, but for me personally, don't use Mr.
|
||||
- Refer to the person with their preferred name. For me, this means don't use my family name[^1]. Also, don't deadname trans people.
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
It is necessary to introduce yourself if you and the other person don't know each other. Start with
|
||||
|
||||
My name is... I am ...
|
||||
I am writing this mail to ...
|
||||
|
||||
If you know the person, you can just come to the reason you're writing this mail.
|
||||
|
||||
## Regards and Signature
|
||||
|
||||
To close an email, you should end it with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Sincerely,
|
||||
- Regards,
|
||||
- Yours cordially,
|
||||
- Best,
|
||||
|
||||
... followed by your name.
|
||||

# Pronoun
|
||||
# Attachment

[^1]: I would say it's the same for all other Vietnamese people. Vietnamese people currently has quite few family name,
|
||||
and most of them are "Nguyen", therefore we never refer to one another as family name. This could be different for other Asian culture,
|
||||
e.g. Chinese or Japanese people may use family name in formal situation.
