Greetings
Dear Mr/Ms Jones
Always use Ms and not Mrs when writing to a woman in a professional context.
In formal emails we always use the surname, so if the person’s name is Mary Franklin, don’t write Dear Ms. Mary or Dear Ms. Mary Franklin, write Dear Ms. Franklin
Sometimes you don’t know the name of the person you’re writing to because the email address starts with info or office. In this case write:
Dear Sir/Madam
Introducing yourself - name, job title and company
My name is Susan Whitby and I am the Head of Marketing at HMU.
Friendly opening - this all depends on your relationship with the person. If you know someone a little better, but still have a formal relationship it might be nice to use a phrase like this at the beginning of your mails.
I hope everything is going well.
I hope you had a nice Christmas.
Referring to the last contact between you
It was lovely meeting you at the sales conference last week.
It was nice talking to you on the phone earlier.
Thank you for your mail last week.
Reason for writing
I am writing in connection with the order we placed last week.
I am writing with regard to next week's board meeting.
I am writing to update you on the progress of the Masterson project.
As discussed, I am sending you more detailed information about the upcoming conference.
Giving information
I would like to inform you about the results of our customer survey.
Attachments - don’t write "I have enclosed" in an email - we only use that for letters
I have attached a pdf with the most relevant information.
Making a request
Could you please let me know if you can attend the event next week?
I would appreciate it if you could send me the documents this week.
Would it be possible to deliver the goods one week earlier?
Making arrangements
I was wondering if you would be available for a meeting next week.
Would 10am be a suitable time?
I am afraid I am not available on Wednesday. Would Thursday work?
Confirming
I would like to confirm our meeting for 3pm on Wednesday the 11th.

Hello Derek I want to sincerely thank you for all your practicing classes that are very necessary in the process of work , and for personal growth and for professional development in work, I would also like to ask you to create a topic on the topic of inviting project sponsors to the kick-off meeting.
