EMAIL WRITING

PURPOSE
 Email vs Letter
There are some differences between the email and the letter, they are:

1)Do not write a street address for the sender and/or recipient whether or not the
letter is informal or formal. The only address in this type of writing is an EMAIL
ADDRESS.
2)At the
beginning of each email, that is, before the contents of letter is written,
you must first write:
To: jackjohn@gmail.com
Subject: Invitation to wedding anniversary
 EMAIL ADDRESS
 Use appropriate email addresses.

 When creating an email address take into consideration:

 The purpose of the email address

 Who will you email in the future

 If the email address will be used in a professional capacity.

 EMAIL ADDRESS
 Sexydarkie@gmail.com
 bigguns@hotmail.com
 sweetlips@yahoo.com
 sugardaddy@msn.com
 Email vs Letter
 On the other hand, the similarities are:

1) Depending on the nature of the email, that is, if it is a formal email, then the
tone MUST be formal. If the email is informal, then the tone MUST be informal.
2) Use the block format but remember that you do not include any address(es).
3) Your email must have an introduction, body and conclusion
4) You must have a closing at the end, with your signature typed in the email.
 Email vs Letter
1) Introduction- state reason for writing the email
2) Body- give details of the reason for writing the email.
3) Conclusion- end on a polite tone.
