Parts of an E-mail

An email contains several (=verschillende) parts:

1. Salutation (aanhef)

2. Contents paragraph (inhoud alinea)

3. Closing sentence (afsluitzin)

4. Closing (afsluiting)

These parts will be discussed in the next pages. Mind you, these are used for formal e-mails!

Formal email: Salutation

Formal email: Greeting

You always start email by greeting the person you write. 

Formal email: Paragraph

You always start your content paragraph (inhoud alinea) by saying why you are writing the person. The rest of the paragraph gives more information. 

Formal email: closing phrase

You always end your email with a closing sentence.  

Examples: 

• I look forward to hearing from you. (Ik kijk uit naar uw antwoord.)
• Please do not hesitate to contact me with further questions. (Aarzel niet me te contacteren met verdere vragen.)
• I hope you have a good evening/day/week/weekend. 
• I really appreciate the help/support/time/assistance.

Formal email: closing

You always end your email with a closing sentence. 

Formal Email: ending phrase

You always end your email with a ending phrase, followed by a comma.
