¶ … Business Writing Emails
The format necessary when writing an email depends on the type of letter contained in the email. Writing an email is in fact the same as writing letters using the traditional form of paper. We follow certain formats that match the kind of letter that we write such as a business letter, a friendly letter, etc. Thereby, when writing emails, particularly business emails, there is a need to follow good writing practices. This is the rule that must be followed in all business emails, whether the recipient of the email is an internal audience or an external audience.
Many of today's business environments, however, do not follow good writing practices when writing emails for an internal audience. The attitude, tone, and use of language contained in internal business emails are most of the time of informal type. Perhaps, this is due to the camaraderie that exists between the sender and the recipient of the email.
