Your emails make an impression on your managers, colleagues, clients, and on possible recruiters. Sloppy emails may show that you are not disciplined and risk causing misunderstanding among colleagues. A poorly-written email along with a job application can damage your chances of landing the job.
在现代商务领域电子邮件是主要的沟通方式,外企基本上都要求是英文邮件进行沟通,所以用英文写邮件是非常重要的事情,从这节课开始起,我们就和大家聊聊如何来书写标准的英文邮件。
1.写作风格
Don't send emails without a spell check. Avoid exclamation marks, as that may seem immature. Avoid writing in capital letters, since in writing this can be interpreted as the equivalent of shouting
2.行文方式
Composition: Given the flood of email we get daily, it's best to keep your emails short and to-the-point. Don't write 'sentences that tend to be never-ending'3.主题
Be specific in your subject line and mention if the matter is urgent. Instead of saying 'I have a question', say 'My holiday plans; not urgent'.
4.关于对方的称谓
Email recipients can get angry if the body of your email has the wrong spelling of their name or, even worse, if you address the person as 'Mr.' when it should really be 'Ms.' Always double-check spellings and titles before sending your email. If you are not sure whether the recipient is male or female, either use the person's first name or the full name.
