Realised by: PresntSearch
The lesson includes:
• Parts of the email
• -what to capitalize
• -where you leave spaces and empty lines
• -signature block at the end.
1- Parts of the email
To: the recipient’s electronic address
Subject: short title that tells the reader what your email is about
Salutation: where you say hello to the recipient
Body: you write your message
Closing: a sort of saying goodbye
Signature: electronic signature should include your first and last name
Signature block: optional
2- What to capitalize
• -In Subject, you capitalize the first letter of the words like we capitalize a book
title: the first and the last word and the important words such as nouns, verbs,
adjectives and adverbs. We don’t capitalize articles, conjunctions, three letters
or shorter (and, so, but, on, the, off, by, a….)
• -Capitalize the first word and all nouns in salutations, ex. Dear Hiring Manager:/
Dear Professor Smith:
• Formal salutation is ended by : (in job applications, leaders in your company,
other people in higher position…)
• Informal salutation is ended by , (friends, family, people you see daily or often)
• -In closing, you capitalize only the 1st word letter
• Ex. Formal closing: Best regards, Sincerely, Thank you, Best, Yours truly,
Respectfully…
• 3-Spacing and empty lines:
• Leave an empty line after salutation
• “ “ “ “ between paragraphs
• “ “ “ “ before your closing
• “ “ “ “ after your closing
• (NB. No empty lines, no comma after signature)
4- EXAMPLE
• To: MS Holly @English Units com.
• Subject: Sick Today. Homework Question
• Dear M. Holly:
• I hope you are having a nice week! I am writing to let you know that I am absent today
because I am sick. I hope I will be better by tomorrow.
• I have a question about our homework that is due today. Is it possible for me to turn it
tomorrow when I am back? I can also scan the pages and email them today. Please let me
know which is best.
• Best regards:

•Exercise:
• Exercise:

exhausted and unable to fulfill all the duties he has to realize. What
do you advise him to do?
• Answer back in an e mail giving advice and some suggestions to help
