Fix That Email

Do you cringe when you need to type an email? Do you stress about formatting? Then this is the post for you! 

Emails are usually less formal than a typed letter, but more formal than a text. Here is an example of a simple, effective email.

I wrote this email with Emmy Favilla's email suggestions in mind. They come from the book I mentioned in a previous post called "A World Without Whom." Here are Favilla's suggestions:

• Open with a simple "Hi." If using their name, no comma is needed.
• Get right to the point. There is no need for fanciness; you do not need to ask how their week has been or come up with a unique intro.
• Sign the email with your name. You could use "Thanks" or something similar if it is appropriate. 

Other helpful information:

• Use bullets for long lists
• Do not use ellipses
• Do not use emoticons

That's it! It's pretty simple! Think of it as semi-formal: not too fancy and not too sloppy. Try it for yourself!
