2. Starting and finishing emails

Here are some important points to consider when starting and finishing an email.

Formal or informal?

We write a formal email when we want to be polite, or when we do not know the reader very well. A lot of work emails are formal. We write informal emails when we want to be friendly, or when we know the reader well. A lot of social emails are informal. Here are some examples of formal and informal messages:

3. Organising your writing

- Emails are easier to read if the writer uses paragraphs.

- A paragraph in an email is often two or three sentences long.

- Each paragraph starts on a new line.

- When you start writing about a new topic, you can start a new paragraph.
