 This week’s picture is of Banff, Alberta.

Today’s agenda:

1. Email letter protocol – name, class, time

greeting, closer

- letter format

- I’m getting emails with no heading, no greeting, no name, no note.

Begin with a greeting:

Hi,

Hello,

Hi Al,

Hello Mr. Smith,

My dear teacher, (not an English style- sweet but sounds odd)

Letter, note in sentences.

Be very conscious of tone. 

Why did you not send me the test!! -sounds like yelling, I don’t like it

-The tone of an email can easily be misinterpreted, so it is important to err on the side of politeness.

- be courteous always, be polite, be respectful of each other

End with a closer:

Yours truly,

Thank you,

Thanks,

See you tomorrow,

Best regards,

Best,

Hope to hear from you,

PUT YOUR NAME!!!

I’m getting many emails form people who don’t put their name on the email.

Name? Class? Time?

A well-constructed email looks professional. It will get a better response.
