Writing an Email

Email may seem like an old technology in a world of WhatsApp messages, voice notes, and social media, but in the business world, email is still king. Companies sign contracts by email, send invoices by email, confirm meetings by email, and resolve problems by email.

What it is

Email may seem like an old technology in a world of WhatsApp messages, voice notes, and social media, but in the business world, email is still king. Companies sign contracts by email, send invoices by email, confirm meetings by email, and resolve problems by email. A well-written email can open doors, create trust, and solve a problem in five minutes. A badly written email can do the opposite: it can confuse the reader, damage your professional image, and create a conflict that takes weeks to repair. Learning to write clear, polite, and effective emails in English is one of the most practical skills you can develop for your career. The first thing to understand is that an email is not a text message. A message to a friend can be short, informal, and full of emojis. A professional email has a structure, a purpose, and a tone of respect. Before you write a single word, ask yourself three questions: Who is my reader? What is my objective? Let's talk — 10 questions to discuss with your voice tutor: 1. How many emails do you receive in a normal day? Do you enjoy writing emails? 2. What differences are there between a WhatsApp message and a professional email? 3. Why is the subject line so important? Write an example of a good subject line. 4. What mistakes have you seen in professional emails? 5. How do you start and finish an email in English? Which phrases do you use? 6. Have you ever sent an email to the wrong person or forgotten an attachment? What happened? 7. Why is tone more difficult in writing than in spoken conversation? 8. How quickly do you think professionals should answer an email? Why? 9. Could you describe the perfect email signature? What information should it include? 10. Practice: explain out loud how you would write an email to confirm an appointment with a client. 📖 La lectura completa llegará en una actualización (la plataforma ahora limita el texto por lección).
