Helpful Hints ... 

Same Writing Approach ... 

One of my favorite books that I use here at Limestone.  The author does a great job outlining an approach to effective writing.  Systematic process that applies to most all type of letters.  The approach of all writing is Pre-writing (goal of message and identify the audience), Writing (composing the message in a 3-paragraph format) and Editing (reviewing and making message brief and effective).

For Emails 

Start with a attention-grabbing Subject Line ... create a reason for the reader to read the email (be professional)

P1 ... include intro and specific reason or request.

P2 ... details and facts of the first paragraph.

P3 ... follow up with time, dates and resolution.

Select one of the scenarios below and write an email.  Hints above and many examples in MindTap
