表明你的目的

結束語

最后的結尾辭
電子郵件的最后一步，包括了適切的結尾辭與你的名字。專業用語是“Best regards” “Sincerely”及“Thank you”。而避免使用結尾辭“Best wishes”或“Cheers”是最好的點子，因為這些最好在非正式及私人電子郵件中使用。最后，在按下傳送鍵以前，再檢查一次電子郵件中的拼寫，來確定這是一封絕佳的電子郵件！

Although emails are often seen as less formal than printed business letters, in the business world you cannot afford to let your language appear to be informal. Email may be faster and more efficient, but your client or business partner will not easily forgive correspondence that is too casual. Not to fear! Read on to discover simple secrets that will add a high level of professionalism to your English emails.

Begin with a greeting
It's important to always open your email with a greeting, such as "Dear Lillian,". Depending on the formality of your relationship, you may want to use their family name as opposed to their given name, i.e. "Dear Mrs. Price,". If the relationship is more casual, you can simply say, "Hi Kelly," If you�qe contacting a company, not an individual, you may write "To Whom It May Concern:"

Thank the recipient
" ?7 r+ E; `! G: i: v, Y) dIf you are replying to a client's inquiry, you should begin with a line of thanks. For example, if someone has a question about your company, you can say, "Thank you for contacting ABC Company." If someone has replied to one of your emails, be sure to say, "Thank you for your prompt reply." or "Thanks for getting back to me." If you can find any way to thank the reader, then do. It will put him or her at ease, and it will make you appear more courteous.
State your purpose
0 o% d# |( T- z1 E2 c* S! Y( l2 yIf, however, you are initiating the email communication, it may be impossible to include a line of thanks. Instead, begin by stating your purpose. For example, "I am writing to enquire about ? or "I am writing in reference to ? It's important to make your purpose clear early on in the email, and then move into the main text of your email. Remember to pay careful attention to grammar, spelling and punctuation, and to avoid run-on sentences by keeping your sentences short and clear.
Closing remarks
Before you end your email, it's polite to thank your reader one more time as well as add some courteous closing remarks. You might start with "Thank you for your patience and cooperation." or "Thank you for your consideration." and then follow up with, "If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to let me know." and "I look forward to hearing from you."
End with a closing
2 O) C& u1 t2 m! j& e) TThe last step is to include an appropriate closing with your name. "Best regards," "Sincerely," and "Thank you," are all professional. It's a good idea to avoid closings such as "Best wishes," or "Cheers," as these are best used in casual, personal emails. Finally, before you hit the send button, review and spell check your email one more time to make sure it's truly perfect!
