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
