E-mails

1. You don’t need to begin with a formal greeting. Dear David, David, or even just Hi are all acceptable ways of starting an email.

2. It is very easy to sound abrupt in an email, so a short greeting can help to lighten the tone.

3. E-mails are usually written at speed, so people very often do not write in complete or grammatically correct sentences.

4. Abbreviations are also often used to save time. Pls is short for 'please', B4 means 'before', and a sap means 'as soon as possible'.

5. People often send documents or pictures with the e-mail: these are known as attachments.

6. End your email with something short like Best, Regards, or Yours if you are writing to someone you do not know well.

7. People usually sign emails with their first name.
