3.1. Informal email of advice

3.1.1 Structure




The video includes:

  • Receiver’s email address
  • The subject / summary line (what is this email about?)
  • Opening , Introduction, Body, Conclusion, Closing, Signature

In an informal email of advice...

  • Put a summary line of the email at the Subject box (ie. What is the email about?)
  • Unlike letters, we do not put a comma at the end of ‘Opening’ and ‘Closing’

    e.g. Opening: ‘Dear Peter’ instead of ‘Dear Peter,’
    Closing: ‘Best wishes’ instead of ‘Best wishes,’
