Subject Lines That Get Opened
Be specific and action-oriented: 'Meeting Agenda for March 15' is better than 'Meeting'.
Opening Lines
Skip 'Dear Sir/Madam' in most contexts. Use 'Hi [Name]' for colleagues, 'Dear [Name]' for clients and formal contexts.
Keep It Structured
One topic per email. Use short paragraphs and bullet points for action items.

'Best regards' works for most situations. 'Kind regards' for slightly more formal. Avoid 'Cheers' in first contacts.
Common Mistakes
Avoid overly formal language ('I am writing to inform you that...'). Instead, be direct: 'I wanted to let you know...'
