What elements are in an email/letter?
Write in bullet points

FORMAL GREETINGS

- Dear Mr. Winter,

- Dear Mrs. Hofman,

- Dear Ms. Oude Spraaksté,

- Dear Sir/Madam,

When do you use Mr., Mrs. and Ms.?

Een aantal voorbeelden hoe je de aanhef van een formele e-mail kunt schrijven.

Verschil Mrs en Ms = getrouwd of ongehuwd -> niet zeker? Gebruik Ms.

Opening lines

- There is no standard opening

- You have to decide what is appropriate

- Think about the context and to whom you are writing

- If you do not know this person it is polite to introduce yourself in the opening lines

BODY PARAGRAPH

- Explain the purpose of the email

- Be direct and brief 

- Write about one or two paragraphs

SIGN OFFS

- Yours faithfully,

- Yours sincerely,

- Kind regards,

Kind regards is professional and appropriate in any email

Yours faithfully = wanneer je de afzender niet kent

Yours sincerely = wanneer je de afzender bij naam noemt / kent

Kind regards = algemeen

DATE

Practice with the format

Look at the format for a basic formal email/letter.
