Main rules
!!!Always write something on the “ Subject ” line ( university e-mails: e.g. name or code of the course , then issue , topic etc)
If the matter is urgent, you may write so on the “Subject” line
Start and end your e-mail properly (also making sure the other person knows who you are)
you” – is spelled with a capital letter only at the beginning of a sentence, NEVER in the middle
In official e-mails – do not abbreviate (e.g., “I am” instead of “I’m”, “do not” instead of “don’t”, “ cannot ” instead of “can’t” etc). Also, do not use colloquial expressions such as “fyi” etc.

Dear Sir/ Madam ,
To whom it may concern ,

Dear Mr/Ms Jones ,
If you know the name and it’s informal (or you have been writing e-mails to each other back and forth quite a lot already ):
Hello ! Hello, Mary, Dear Mary,
Specifics – ending a letter
If you begin with “Dear Sir/Madam,”, end with “Yours faithfully,”
If you begin with “Dear Mr/Ms Smith,”, end with “Yours sincerely,”
If the letter is impersonal, not so official or you have been sending many e-mails to each other, “Regards, Best regards, Best wishes, ...” is also acceptable
Commas after the opening and closing remarks! (and then start the next line with a capital letter)
