Показать описание
In this Business English Emails lesson, I show you the differences between writing formal, semi-formal and informal emails in English. I show you 3 example emails and lots of useful phrases for each style of writing.

CORRECTION:
During the comparison of the semi-formal and informal email examples at 7:40, I say that the phrase "get in touch" is a very formal expression. I meant to say that it is a very informal expression.

Apologies about the poor sound quality on this video - this is an area I'm trying to improve on! I recently bought a new microphone and was very excited to use it, but the results were not as good as I'd hoped!

Hello Derek
Thank you so much for this great video. I have a question for you.
For formal email instead of using Dear can I use Mr, Mrs, or miss along with their last name?
Again I really appreciate what you do.

Does the sign off need to be with both words capitalized e.g. Best Regards, or Best regards? And does the same apply for U.S.A. English?
