Polite Expressions For Email In English

Do you know the correct polite expressions for email in English?

Or do you have a love-hate relationship with email, especially email in English?

Writing email in English would be much easier if the phrases just flowed naturally  if you didn’t have to spend time asking “Is this structure correct?” “Is the message clear?”

I’m sure writing email in English for you is like writing email in French for me: I ask myself questions about the turns of phrases, I double check  to make sure everything is grammatically correct, read the message again to make sure it’s clear… Or rather, I wish I had time to do that!

Often, I have so much work that I write a quick email and hit “Send”, only to realize later that my email has big mistakes in it.

Email is a key communication tool in English

But email is a big part of my job. It’s the same for you. In fact, I bet most of your communication in English is by email.

Let’s be honest. Although we want to send perfect email in English (or French for me!), it takes time and energy to write, especially in another language.

If you’re going to spend time in English, I’m sure you’d prefer to read an interesting article, or chat with a foreign colleague during a coffee break (or watch another English lesson with me ;-).

Personally, I prefer to go to lunch a little earlier instead of re-reading and correcting my email. I’m sure you do too (especially if you have a good cantine!)
