writing adult emails is awful<\/p>\n

its like<\/p>\n

hi [name of person],\u00a0<\/p>\n

this formatting is making me uncomfortable but I have to tell you something \/ ask you something that is vital to my career as a student.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I re-read and edited that sentence for an hour, but you\u2019ll probably just glance over it for half a second.<\/p>\n

thanks!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have a stock format and structure I use.<\/p>\n

Dear Person I am Writing To:<\/p>\n

This is an optional sentence introducing who I am and work for, included if the addressee has never corresponded with me before. The second optional sentence reminds the person where we met, if relevant. This sentence states the purpose of the email.<\/p>\n

This optional paragraph describes in more detail what\u2019s needed. This sentence discusses relevant information like how soon an answer is needed, what kind of an answer is needed, and any information that the other person might find useful. If there\u2019s a lot of information, it\u2019s a good idea to separate this paragraph into two or three paragraphs to avoid having a Wall of Text.<\/p>\n

If a description paragraph was used, close with a restatement of the initial request, in case the addressee ignored the opening paragraph.<\/p>\n

This sentence is just a platitude (usually thanking them for their time) because people think I\u2019m standoffish, unreasonably demanding, or cold if it\u2019s not included.<\/p>\n

Closing salutation,<\/p>\n

Signature.<\/p>\n

People always ask me how I can fire off work emails so quickly. Nobody has figured out yet that it\u2019s the same email with the details changed as needed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
