八王子のネイティブ英会話講師が教えるE-mailの書き方
トピック
常にトピックボックスにトピックを配置します。
これにより、受信者は電子メールの内容を知ることができます。 (たとえば、Re:TOPIC)受信者がフル受信トレイを持っている場合、トピックがない場合は電子メールが通知されないことがあります。
挨拶
受信者のメールアドレスを開始します。ビジネスメールの場合は、次の方法で開始します。
親愛なるMr. / Mrs. / Ms. Name。
「こんにちは」や「こんにちは」などのご挨拶は、あまりにも非公式の電子メールです。
本文
電子メールの本文に、なぜあなたが書いているのかを説明します。ビジネスメールでは、「できない」、「私はいる」、「私はいる」、「私はいる」、「私はありますか」などの単語を完全に書き留めてください。 「ない」など
閉鎖
電子メールを署名する複数の方法があります。ビジネスメールのためのもっとも汎用的なサインオフには次のものがあります:
Topic: Always put a topic in the topic box. This allows the recipient to know what your email will be about. (For example, Re: TOPIC) If the recipient has a full inbox, the email may go unnoticed if there is no topic.
Greeting: Begin the email addressing the recipient. For a business email, start off using:
Dear Mr./ Mrs./ Ms. Name,. Greetings such as “Hello” and “Hi” are too informal for a busniess email.
Body: Here in the body of the email you will explain why you are writing. In a business email do not use contractions such as “can`t”, “I`m”, “wouldn`t”, etc. Instead, fully write out the words such as “cannot”, “I am”, “would not”, etc.
Closing: There are multiple ways to sign off an email. Some of the most versatile sign offs for a business email include:
Sign off (Formal Ending) | Order of Formality | Friends/ Frequent Acquaintances | Meeting for the first time |
5.Sincerely, | 1.Sincerely, | O but may be too formal for a friend | O but usually used in letters |
6.Yours Truly, | 2.Yours Truly, | O but similar to “Sincerely,” this may be too formal for a friend | O but similar to “Sincerely,” this is usually used in letters |
1.Best Regards, | 3.Best Regards, | O | O |
3.Kind Regards, | 4.Kind Regards, | O | O |
2.Best Wishes, | 5.Best Wishes, | O | O |
4. All the best, | 6. All the best, | O | O |
7.Regards, | 7.Best, | O | O okay to use but better to use a different closing if meeting the person for the first time |
8.Best, | 8.Regards, | O | O okay to use but better to use a different closing if meeting the person for the first time |
9. Wishes, | 9.Wishes, | O | X this is too informal to use when meeting someone for the first time |
10. Talk to you soon, | 10.Talk to you soon, | O you can use this if you will actually meet with the recipient in the near future | X this is too informal to use when meeting someone for the first time |
Signature: After your sign off always include your name. In a business email, after your name include the company for which you work and a telephone number if available.
