Writing an email
Writing an email
(formal or informal)
In today’s world it is very important to stay connected with people. Globalization has made our world smaller
and English has emerged as the main language internationally. In this post we are going to talk about an
essential part of communicating. We are going to take a look at some useful language when we write formal
or informal emails.
Informal Greetings
Dear Mom,
Dear sister,
Dear Dad,
Dear Ana,
Formal Greetings
Dear + title + last name
Introduction PARAGRAPH
In this paragraph we include: opening expressions and the reason for writing our email.
A veces nos cuesta empezar un email. Una buena forma es mencionar la razón por la que escribimos después
de un “opening expression”. Esto ayuda a que el compositor y el lector entiendan el propósito principal del
email. El párrafo de introducción solo consta de algunas líneas.
3 OR 4 LINES
The reason I am writing is because….I am visiting your city next weekend, and I would like you to recommend
me some nice hotels.

about it please. Take care of yourself and don't forget to e-mail me back. Looking forward to hearing from you
