Hi, I'm Georgiana, your English teacher.

Thanks for joining me for a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

If you want to help, please share the podcast on social media.

That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Before we start, visit my website, speakEnglishpodcast.com,

and subscribe to my free mini-course. Okay, let's start. In today's episode, I'll show you how to write a business email in English.

I'll teach you how to structure an email by providing some examples. Then, with a fun mini-story,

you will improve your English fluency.

Nowadays, we need to communicate online, both on a personal and professional level.

And though sending an email to a friend doesn't seem to be too challenging, many of you feel intimidated when writing a professional email in English. Whether it's sending it to a supplier, to your boss, a professor,

sign up for a job, etc., this episode will be very useful.

Always start with a greeting.

For example, if you know the first and last name of the person,

say hello like this. Hello, Mike Adams.

Use only their last name by saying,

Dear Mr. or Mrs. Adams. If it's a person you know on a more personal level, you can address them by their name. Say hello like this. Dear Mike. Another way to say hello is to mention

the person's position. Dear manager, recruiter, project manager, hiring manager, etc.

When you're not writing to a specific person, use this expression,

to whom it may concern. Once you say hello, use an opening line. Examples.

Thank you for your reply.

I hope this message finds you well.

Thank you for your message.
