How often do you use your email? Most of us use it on a daily basis, but do you know how to write a good email in English? Let's see.

Email is electronic mail. You can send an email to someone, or email them. They will reply to your email or email you back.

When we write informal emails, we use a more direct language than the one we use for letter writing. For example, instead of using "I am writing with reference to..." we simply say "about..." and instead of writing "please accept our apologies for this misunderstanding", we write in our informal email "sorry about". We normally keep emails short and to the point, dealing with one topic per message. It is recommended using a neutral style, neither too formal nor too familiar.
