Editor's Notes
- #4 1. Subject Line What is the email about? A good subject line summarizes the email and makes it sound important enough for the reader to open. Subject lines like “Hello” or “Meeting” are vague and make it difficult to know what the email will be about. 2. Sender The email address of the person who sent the message appears here. Most email services display the person’s name before their email address to make it easier to identify them. When you press “reply,” your email will only go to this person. 3. Recipient If you are receiving the message, your email address probably won’t appear here. Instead, you might see wording like “to me.” 4. Salutation After the subject line, your email salutation, or greeting, is the next part that the recipient will see. It should match the tone you’re trying to set in the rest of your email. Don’t skip this part unless you are emailing back and forth quickly with someone in a virtual conversation. 5. Email Body The email body contains the message of the email. Effective emails keep their email bodies short and add more extensive information to the attachments. For formal emails, such as messages to an employer or emails to your teacher, it’s best to avoid common email abbreviations. 6. Closing If an email message is an electronic letter, it’s polite to end it with a closing. The closing you choose should match the tone of the rest of the email. Formal closings include “Sincerely” and “Thank you,” while more friendly messages can use “Talk to you soon!” or “See you later!” 7. Signature Friendly letters might sign off with the sender’s name. But many business email accounts have signature sections that include the sender’s position, company and even company logo. These extended signatures are helpful when reaching out to clients or employees from other companies. 8. Attachments An email might include an attachment that provides more information. The attachment could be a document for review, a picture to share or any other file type. Most email accounts have limits on the size of attachments, so the sender might add the file to the email body itself rather than attaching it.
