One: I send way too many emails. I mean way too many.
Two: I start nearly every single one with "I hope you're doing well!"
Seriously. Every. Single. One.
Has anyone ever been full of more hope than me?
Jokes aside, You wouldn't think that your email greeting would be that
complicated to write.
But, I've learned that landing on that perfect sentence that seamlessly
segues into the rest of my note is an art form in and of itself,
Do you find yourself as stumped as I do? You're in luck. I've rounded up 40
different email greetings you can use to kick start your message. Because,

It's important to keep in mind that not all of these opening lines will be
appropriate for every email you send. An important client or your boss, for
example, will probably require something from the "formal" category. But,
a close colleague or long-time friend? Well, he or she might get a kick out of
a funny greeting that strays from the tried and true standards.
At any rate, there's no need to follow in my footsteps and begin every single
one of your messages with the same greeting. Now that I have this list
pulled together, you can bet I'll be using it as inspiration for all of my
emails—and, I think you should too.
Have another opening line that you love to use? Let me know on
‘Twitter what I missed.
