How to Write Official Emails

The practice of primarily communicating with people by phone or postal mail has passed. From the convenience of a computer or web-enabled phone, individuals can create and send email messages to one or numerous recipients around the world. Whether you email your cover letter to a potential employer or want to provide feedback to an organization, to start the process you need a valid email account.

Access your email platform. Enter your email address or user name and password to log into your account.

Click "Compose Email," "New" or a similarly named option.

Enter the recipient's email address into the "To" field.

Add a phrase describing the email's contents in the "Subject" field. If you're submitting a cover letter or resume via email, be sure to read over the application guidelines as some companies will only accept emails with specific phrases or keywords in the "Subject" field.

Type a message in the body of the email. Write in a clear, concise manner and leave out text messaging or chat talk. Avoid using acronyms such as "BRB," TTYL" or similar phrases as this can seem unprofessional. If you're unsure of the person's title, begin the message with "Hello," "Sir" or "Madam."

Add your contact information, including your name and phone number or website address, if applicable, in the signature portion of the email. Close your email with phrases such as, "Sincerely (followed by your first and last name)," "Thanks for your time and consideration," "With Warmest Regards" or a similarly worded phrase.

Review the contents of your email. Reread the message and use the email's spell-check feature to catch any spelling errors.

Click "Send" to send the email to the designated recipient.
