accurately summarizes the purpose or topic of your email.
• 2. Salutation: Start your email with a formal salutation, such as
“Dear Mr./Ms./Dr. [Last Name]" or “Hello or Hello,[name], "To
whom it may concern," depending on the recipient's name and

"Sincerely," "Best regards," or "Thank you." Include your full
name and contact information, including your job title and
company, if applicable.

mention them in the body of the email and ensure they are
properly attached before sending.
