Why Are Business Emails In English So Confusing? (Part I)

Why Are Business Emails In English So Confusing?

Here are ‘indirect email expressions in English’ and what they really mean to help you:

1) ‘I look forward to receiving the information’ (make sure you send the person what they need)
2) ‘As per my last email’ (pay close attention to their last email)
3) ‘Sorry to bother you’ (I know you’re busy but I want to interrupt you politely)
4) ‘As I mentioned before in my last email’ (you haven’t done what they asked you to do)
5) ‘Let’s touch base’ (friendly but vague commitment to keep in contact with you)

I hope this helps with your professional English and professional career! Christopher.
