STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL

Using professional email etiquette

Here are some tips for maintaining good email etiquette:
​

1. Use a professional email address: Avoid using a personal email address for professional communication, and instead opt for an email address that includes your name and the name of your company or organization.
2. Write a clear subject line: The subject line should clearly summarize the purpose of the email, making it easy for the recipient to understand what the email is about.
3. Be concise: Keep your email brief and to the point. Avoid writing lengthy emails that are difficult to read and comprehend.
4. Use a polite and professional tone: Maintain a professional and respectful tone in your emails, regardless of the subject matter or the recipient.
5. Proofread before sending: Check your email for spelling and grammatical errors before sending it.
6. Use a proper salutation and closing: Start your email with a proper salutation, such as "Dear [Name],", and end it with a polite closing, such as "Best regards," or "Sincerely," followed by your signature.
7. Avoid using all caps: Typing in all caps can come across as yelling, so avoid using all capital letters in your emails.
8. Attachments: When sending attachments, make sure that they are relevant and clearly labeled.
9. Respond promptly: Respond to emails in a timely manner, especially if the recipient has requested a response.
10. Be mindful of CC and BCC: Be careful when using the CC and BCC fields, and only include individuals who need to be kept in the loop.
