Subject: Best Practices in Writing Emails to professor
Hello Evan,
Regarding the email you ask for placement in a course, there list some advice on writing a professional email to professors. “You Attitude” is the essence of the guideline to achieve successful communications.
Tips for writing emails to professors:
- Making readers (professors) feel the suggestion is from their point of view by avoiding using “I” or “We” in the email.
- Limiting the use of “You” in the body of the email.
- Emphasizing the benefit for your professor. Using a general tone would make it sounds better.
- Standing out the main point at the beginning helps the audience catch the main idea immediately.
- Framing the email by avoiding right alignment makes it easier to read for audience.
- Showing a positive attitude and focusing on the positive side of the suggestion.
- Expressing appreciation for professor and avoiding offensive expressions like complaining or blaming.
Email is an essential tool to build successful communications. Following these tips definitely hence the chance of getting a placement in a full course. If you have any questions, please email me at 1416518573@qq.com.
