Introduction to Email Writing
Email writing refers to the process of composing and sending messages electronically through email platforms. Emails are widely used because they are fast, convenient, cost-effective, and easy to store. Unlike informal chats, emails often require proper language, structure, and etiquette—especially in academic and professional settings.
In today’s digital age, knowing how to write an effective email is essential. A well-written email communicates the message clearly, avoids confusion, and reflects the writer’s professionalism and confidence. Poorly written emails, on the other hand, may cause misunderstandings or create a negative impression.
Importance of Email Writing
> Email writing plays a crucial role in both personal and professional communication.
> It helps in formal communication in offices, schools, and organizations.
> It allows quick sharing of information across long distances.
> Emails provide a written record that can be saved and referred to later.
> Proper email writing improves professional image and credibility.
> It supports communication for job applications, official notices, meetings, and customer service.
Stages of Email Writing
Writing an effective email involves several important stages. Following these stages ensures clarity, correctness, and professionalism.
1. Planning the Email
Before writing an email, the sender should decide:
> The purpose of the email
> The recipient
> The tone (formal, semi-formal, or informal)
> The key points to include
Planning helps avoid unnecessary content and keeps the email focused.

2. Drafting the Email
At this stage, the writer prepares the first draft of the email. This includes:
> Writing a clear subject line
> Adding an appropriate greeting
> Writing the main message logically and briefly
> Ending with a polite closing
The draft does not need to be perfect but should contain all important information.
3. Revising the Content
Revising involves checking:
> Whether the message is clear and complete
> Whether the tone is polite and appropriate
> Whether the information is accurate
Unnecessary words or confusing sentences should be removed or rewritten.

4. Editing and Proofreading
This stage focuses on correcting:
> Grammar mistakes
> Spelling errors
> Punctuation issues
> Formatting problems
Proofreading ensures the email looks professional and error-free.

5. Sending the Email
Before clicking “Send,” the writer should:
> Verify the recipient’s email address
> Check attachments, if any
> Review the subject line once more
Only after confirming everything should the email be sent.
Format of Email Writing
A proper email follows a fixed structure or format. Using the correct format makes the email easy to read and understand.
1. Subject Line
The subject line briefly states the purpose of the email.
> Example:
• Request for Leave, Submission of Assignment
• A good subject line is short, clear, and relevant.

2. Greeting or Salutation
This is how the email begins. The greeting depends on the relationship with the recipient.
> Examples:
• Dear Sir/Madam,
• Respected Teacher,
• Hello John,

3. Body of the Email
The body contains the main message. It should:
> Be clear and concise
> Be written in simple language
> Be divided into short paragraphs if needed
The body usually includes an introduction, explanation, and conclusion.
4. Closing
The closing shows politeness and respect.
> Examples:
• Thank you
• Regards
• Yours sincerely

5. Signature
