    • Remarkds
    • Sign-off & Singature

    Subject line

    • Short and clear purpose


    Salutation

    • Dear - all purpose, very warm, quite formal
    • Hello - a bit formal
    • Hi - informal
    • Hey - very informal, only for people you know very well
    • Name - kind of code, direct, can be confrontational

    Opening

    • Sart with Proper Small Talk

    • Get to the point

      • I am wrting to confirm if the solution I set you has been received.

    Facts & Actions

    • For mail contents, provide as simpilifed as we can, as specific/detail as we can
    • More than 6 lines in 1 paragraph? => Split it up
    • Important information? => Make it a one-line paragraph

    Facts & Actions - BCBC Rule

    • Buffer - Open with greetings or meaningful statement that does not mention the bad news
    • Cause - Explain causes of the bad news. Avoid negative words like can't, bad, unfortunate, etc. Use neutral terms when possible
    • Bad News - Reveal bad news without emphasizing it
    • Closing - End with a forward-looking, pleasant statement and again, avoid refering to the bad news itself
    • Use Postive wording instead of Negative wording
    • Use Passive Voice instead of Active Voice

    Closing

    • When specific action is required
      • I look forward to hearing from you.
      • I'm looking forward to your reply.
