How To Write A Professional Business Email Training Ppt

Slide 1

This slide depicts the steps to write a formal email. The steps are: to begin with a greeting, thanking the recipient, stating your purpose, adding closing remarks, and ending with a closing.

Instructor’s Notes:

The steps to write formal email are as follows:

• Begin with a Greeting: Always begin your email with a salutation, such as "Dear Liza." If you have a formal relationship with the reader, use their surname (for example, "Dear Mrs. Pete"). If your relationship is more casual, say, "Hi Kelly." If you don't know who you're writing to, use "To whom it may concern" or "Dear Sir/Madam“
• Thank the recipient: If you're responding to a client's request, you should start by thanking them. "Thank you for contacting ABC Company,". If someone responds to one of your emails, be sure to thank them by saying "Thank you for your prompt response" or "Thank you for getting back to me"
• State your purpose: Make your email's purpose evident from the start, and then continue to the email's main text. For example: "I am writing to inform you about..." or "I am writing about...",
• Add your closing remarks: It's good to thank your reader once more and add some polite ending notes before closing your email. For example: "Thank you for your assistance" could be an excellent place to start, followed by "Please reach out to me in case of any doubts" and "I look forward to hearing from you“
• End with a Closing: The next step is to add an appropriate closure that includes your name. "Best wishes," "Sincerely," and "Thank you" are all formal phrases. Finally, before hitting the send button, double-check and spell-check your email to ensure it's flawless
