DO's 

• introduction.

• Write the most important information first.

• Use numbers and bullet points to make the message clearer.

• Use simple grammar. Avoid things like the passive. (As emails are a fast means of communication, they tend to be less wordy and complexthan formal letters.)

• Write short sentences.

• Use paragraphs to keep the email clear and easy to understand

Don't (S)

• Write about irrelevant issues. The reader will soon hit ‘delete’ if the email doesn’t get to the point.

• Give personal information that you don’t want anyone else to know. (The email could end up in the wrong hands)

• Use capital letters to write whole words as in emails, this is considered shouting.

• Use different fonts in the email (the recipient’s computer may not be compatible)

• Use exclamation marks.

• Use abbreviations like coz and uni, as the recipient may not understand

them.

• Use acronyms like BTW for the same reason.

• Use smileys. They may be misunderstood and come across as unprofessional

Example

Sign off the email with a 'Sincerely' or 'Regards' or 'Best regards'
