Email Etiquette: Openings and Endings [Tips]

The emails have become a part of our daily life, and a good email speaks for itself. We are taught, how to write a letter but there is a no structured formula for emails.

BBC shares some tips on “netiquette”. Some of them are summarized below:

Emails are invariably of an informal nature, so informal language tends to be the norm.

Openings (common examples) -

Hi, Roger, Hello Roger, Dear Roger (representing informal norm)

Hello Roger Woodham, Hi Roger Woodham, Good morning Roger, Hey Roger, Hey you guys (for friends)

Endings (common examples) -

Best wishes, Regards, Best regards, Good wishes. (followed by the Given Name or First Name – representing informal norm)

Sometimes, a pre-closing formula is used instead of or in addition to the standard closure, e.g.

• Let me know if you need more information,
  Dave
  
• Look forward to hearing from you.
  Best wishes,
  Dave
