WriteX - Email Writing

This assessment measures the ability to write an email in a proper format. A well written email is easier to read and
understand. This skill is extremely important at work given the extensive use of emails for official communication.

A professional email should be comprehensive, effective and should avoid the usage of informal words, including
slang and idioms. The email should be clear and concise, but at the same time, it should be able to convey all the
necessary details.

The email submitted by the test taker was evaluated after taking various aspects into consideration which included,
the usage of a clear and concise subject line, necessary salutation, relevance and completeness of the content,
appropriate usage of passive and active voice, correct grammar, spellings, punctuation, and a complete signature at
the end.

The candidate prepared an email that reasonably demonstrated the basic rules of email etiquette but contained
several minor errors throughout the text.
