Hello Evan,
The purpose of this email memo is to highlight best practices for writing an email to a professor or member of faculty.
- Using an active voice whenever possible to allow readers to grasp the meaning more quickly and clearly
- Writing concise sentences that convey meaning in the fewest words such that the reader will retain only the important details
- Writing clear subject lines that summarize the purpose of the email in a few words
- Using language that is respectful, polite, professional and thoughtful
- Proofreading the email multiple times to remove grammar and spelling mistakes
- Starting the email off with a salutation and ending it with a polite closing
These best practices for writing a professional email will allow for better communication and should prompt a rapid response. If there are more questions, please email me at bensonlin@live.ca.
