Professional email characteristics A professional tone. An appropriate greeting. A clear and direct subject line. A concise message that states its purpose. An appropriate closing that explains what action should be taken. A sign-off.
Example of professional email: Thank you for meeting with me (Date) to discuss the (Position) at (Company Name). Our conversation made me even more enthusiastic about the role. It demonstrated that my skills align perfectly with your requirements. I particularly enjoyed discussing (Specific Topic).
Format: Emails are typically formatted in block format: the entire message is left justified, single spaced except for an added space between paragraphs, with no extra indentation for paragraphs. White space (blank white space on the page) such as the extra spacing between paragraphs helps with readability!
There are five elements to consider when writing a formal email include: Subject. A subject line is what the reader sees in their inbox. Greeting. Choose a professional greeting, also called a salutation, to start with a strong impression. Opening lines and body. Closing. Signature.
Include: a very brief bio about yourself, a statement about why you are interested in their research, that you would like to find out more about the possibility of working with them, provide your availability to begin, and be sure to ask for an appointment to meet with them. Do not send out template emails.
You should start a professional email with a greeting and the name and title of the recipient (e.g., “Dear Mr. Walken”). Then, you should include an introductory line like I hope this email finds you well, followed by the body of the email.
