Electronic mail or E-mail is a method of exchanging messages
between people using electronic devices.
Email first entered substantial use in the 1960s and by mid-
1970s had taken the form new recognized as email.
In present days there are many mediums to send massages or text or send any kind of file to
anybody. Most of us prefer WhatsApp or any kind of messenger to text somebody. But still email
has kept it’s position. From Facebook to internet banking or attending a public examination
everywhere we have to provide our email address, but that’s not the reason we should learn
writing an email. Most of us know how to write an email. But many cases it has been seen that
theirs emails aren’t effective. So, many emails remains unread by the recipient.
We are engineering students here. After passing out most of us will join corporate sectors or any
Other fields. There email is very essential. Forget about the future even now we need to learn
effective Email writing.
No matter how basic a life skill,
its something you have to learn
 No-Reply Email : You want to tell the receiver
something, either a compliment or information. No
reply is necessary.
 Inquiry Email : You need something from the receiver
in a reply. Example: advice, or questions answered.
The reply is your desired outcome.
 Open-Ended Email : to keep communication lines
open, for the purpose of some future result or benefit.
 Action Email : The goal is not the reply, but some
action on the part of the receiver. Examples: a sales
pitch, or asking for a website link exchange .
Like letter, E-mail also can be classified in two
types. Formal Email & Informal Email.
On the basis of giving replies, Email can be
categorized in four types.
Some Methods To Follow
Give the message a subject/title. E-mail
messages without a subject may not be
opened because of fear of viruses &
especially note that it is easy to type this
important information.
Keep the subject short & clear but avoid
such headings as:
‘Good News’, ‘Hello’, ‘Message from
_____’. These headings are common in
messages containing viruses. Short but
specific headings are needed.
GREETING
Start with a clear indication of what the
message is about in the first paragraph.
Give full details in the following paragraph(s).
Make sure that the final paragraph indicates
what should happen next.
Example:
I will send a messenger to your office one
Tuesday morning to collect the faulty goods.
e.g. Please let me have your order by the
beginning of the month.
 Make sure you refer, in the main message, to
any attachments you are adding of course make
extra sure that you remember to include the
attachment(s).
 As attachments can transmit viruses, try not to
use them, unless you are sending complicated
documents.
 If you use an attachment, make sure the file
name describes the content, and is not too
general; e.g. ‘message.doc’ is bad, but ‘QA
Report 2012.doc’ is good.
Include your name at the end of this message. It
is most annoying to receive an email which does
not include the name of the sender. The
problem is that often the email address of the
sender does not indicate exactly who it is form,
e.g. 032728@polyu.edu.hk
Example: Kind regards
Ajay Chatterjee
Human Resources Manager
END GREETINGS
th
 For a formal e-mail ( like writing e e-mail to your
boss or a person who is in a upper position than
you in your work field)
 For an informal e-mail end the e-mail in a polite
way. Common greetings are used in this matter.
Example: Yours sincerely, Best regards, best
wishes etc
The Email Signature
A professional signature makes it easy to contact you.
Your email account can automatically add these data of the bottom of the
email:
- Full professional name
- Job title
- Business phone/ fax numbers
- Business street address
- Business website, if any
- A legal disclaimer if required by your company
Depending on policy, you may also want to include a link to the company’s
website or social media pages.
Before Sending
Improper spelling, grammar and punctuation give a bad impression, and can
sometimes even change the meaning of the text. So check these things before
sending the email to the recipient.
Go through the email through in the eyes of the recipient before you send it.
Jon,
Hey, I was just thinking about the meeting we had about the new workshop you were
planning for next week about resume-writing. I think that we may have forgotten to
include all of the students who might benefit from this workshop. There are several
groups of students at the School of Public Health that were not on your list. Of course
you may have added them to you list since our last meeting. Sara from the School of
Public Health contacted me to ask if the students from the Epidemiology program
were on our list of included students. She also wanted a list of all of the included
departments from the School of Public Health. Can you send me a list of all of the
included student groups? I can then send the relevant information on to Sara because
she needs this information by tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rachell.
