Office English episode 1: Work emails

Do you struggle to write the perfect English email at work? How formal or friendly should you be when you are writing to a colleague, your boss, or somebody at another company? Can you use 'Hi' in an email - and how do you end your email so that someone will reply? In the first episode of Office English, Pippa and Phil talk about their email habits and suggest some useful phrases for different work-related situations.

I have been learning English by watching the channel. It helped me a lot and I could improve my English skill. Now I'm quite confident and getting ambitious as I learn more and more. And always kind regards.

Very useful tips, thank you.
Although I ve been working for 7 years in companies with the international environment, I hesitate sometimes if my e-mail is too formal or too loose, therefore, I was always using formal language.
Keep it up this series please :)

The other day I sent an email to the Singapore Iras, I wish I had watched this video before that, then I could have had the right words for my email to the Iras.
Your video's really helpful for me and I'm looking forward to watching your next video about meetings and giving ideas.

[@bbclearningenglish]

🤔 What phrases would you use at the beginning of a formal email to someone you have never met before?

[@abdulkadirt7242]

I often reply with "Greetings of the Day", if this is not the right way to say then correct me.

[@phoenixpham905]

"Nice to e-meet you!"
Is it ok for this case?

[@viclareugi6195]

I use "I hope this email finds you well."

[@takkt3288]

sincerely yours😊

[@user-or4nk9yf2c]
