How to convey tone in Email

Jezebel featured a post on how to write a pitch perfect email. Super useful for new professionals who may have plenty of experience writing hilarious informal emails, but not enough writing formal ones.

The article is most helpful because it has examples of different wordings and the tone they convey.

Topics covered include:
  • Think about your subject line
  • Open wisely
  • Establish a personal connection
  • Be succinct, and come to the point quickly
  • Finish strong
  • Proofread
