Tips

  1. Start with Hi if it is an informal email to someone you know.
  2. The email can have three main paragraphs:
    • the reason for writing (= to say thank you)
    • the main point (= more details or examples)
    • a wish or offer for the future.
  3. Use emojis (e.g. smiley) or emoticons (e.g. :) ) to show you're joking.
  4. You can say See you soon / See you next year if you hope to meet again.
  5. Use a closing phrase like Keep in touch, Write soon, Speak soon or Take care.

Hi teachers of this website, I just wanted to say thank you for helping me to improve my English. I've already explored the entire Grammar's section, which made me much more conscious of the language's structure. I loved the simple explanations, always coming with good examples and useful exercises. After that I've started my "training", trying to write and to speak, and once more this website has been proving itself to be a very helpful tool. Thanks a lot!

Hi Clarissa,

Thank you very much for your lovely comment. It's great to know we're helping people improve their English!

this is formal or informal email? if it is informal, share a formal email, please. tnx best regards

Hello Kiomars

Yes, this is an informal email. In both our Reading and Writing skills sections, you can find many example emails. Like this one, some are informal, and others -- especially ones that are business-oriented -- are formal. I'd recommend you look at the different levels, but a couple of examples are:

All the best
