Answers to the most common questions about writing professional emails.
Start with a proper greeting using the recipient's name, then lead with your purpose in the first sentence. Skip pleasantries unless you have an established relationship. 'Hi [Name], I'm writing about X' is cleaner than 'I hope this email finds you well.'
A professional email follows this structure: (1) Subject line, (2) Greeting, (3) Opening sentence stating your purpose, (4) Body with relevant details in short paragraphs, (5) Clear call-to-action, (6) Professional sign-off and signature.
Most professional emails should be 100–200 words. If your email exceeds 300 words, consider whether the content would be better as a document attachment, a call, or a meeting. Shorter is almost always better.
The most common mistakes are: vague subject lines, burying the main point, walls of unbroken text, unclear calls to action, hitting reply-all unnecessarily, and sending without proofreading. Our AI avoids all of these by default.
End with a clear next step or call to action, then a professional sign-off: 'Best regards', 'Kind regards', 'Best', or 'Thanks'. Always include your full name. For formal emails, add your title and contact information.
