When you send an email, the first two things that your recipient sees are typically your name and email address.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, it\u2019s <b>extremely <\/b>important that your email address doesn\u2019t come anywhere close to resembling cheesyspaceshipcat5000@*****.com. Even if you\u2019ve had a fun email address since middle school that you still really love, ditch it when writing as a professional.<\/p>\n<p>Using key identifiers, such as elements of your first and last name, is typically the best way to go. This kind of email address will make the recipient equate it with your name, and you can use it for a long time for multiple purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>bobbelcher@*****.com<\/li>\n<li>belcherbob@*****.com<\/li>\n<li>bbelcher99@*****.com<\/li>\n<li>robert_belcher_jr@*****.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that while your name is probably already used in an email address in some fashion, there are <a href=\"http:\/\/consultantjournal.com\/blog\/professional-email-address-ideas-for-common-names\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some simple tricks<\/a> you can do to keep your name in the mix. Try changing the order of first and last name or using initials or significant numbers. Special characters such as periods or underscores can also work.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re already attending college or working at a business where you were <i>assigned <\/i>an email address, use this address for your professional communication.<\/p>\n<h3>One caveat about college email addresses<\/h3>\n<p>Keep in mind that your college email address will probably be disabled when you leave school. While it\u2019s great for communicating with your professors and classmates, it isn\u2019t the best choice for reaching out to future employers who may contact you after graduation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6897\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6897 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20333%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20333%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920.jpg 1920w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-1281744_1920-1024x683.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to your name, this one should be pretty obvious, but double-check your email settings or preferences to make sure that your first and last names have been saved correctly in the program.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want your recipients to see your name misspelled when you reach out to them, and you want them to be able to identify you right away in future correspondence.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Write a Professional Email: Acting the Part<\/h2>\n<p>Your average tweet is made up of language that looks like it\u2019s on vacation. There may be misspellings, emojis, hashtags, slang, incomplete sentences, improper capitalization of letters, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>None of these should be included in a professional email if you want to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, social media communication doesn\u2019t care much about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/common-grammar-mistakes\/\">grammar<\/a> and style, but the language in your professional emails should be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/how-to-become-a-better-writer-smart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">much more sophisticated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean that your emails must be completely void of personality, but when you think about how to write a professional email, you should always ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Will my language make the recipient take me seriously?<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>What is the purpose of this email, and have I made this clear?<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Did I check my writing for grammar and logic mistakes?<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a nutshell, you want to write clear and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/concise-writing-strong-essay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concise<\/a> sentences that get to the point. Be polite, not demanding, and be sure to say \u201cplease\u201d and \u201cthank you\u201d if you\u2019re asking something of the recipient. Make sure you keep it brief (nobody wants to read an email novel), and stay on topic.<\/p>\n<p>If you think that what you\u2019re writing about warrants deeper discussion than an email can accomplish, don\u2019t be afraid to\u2014politely\u2014ask the recipient for a meeting or phone call.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6899\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920-1024x783.jpg\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920.jpg 1611w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6899 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20382%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20382%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920.jpg 1611w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ice-exhibit-1938701_1920-1024x783.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Email Formatting: Get the Details Right<\/h2>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to talk about the structure of your email. Follow the steps for each of the items detailed below, and you\u2019ll be well on your way to wowing your recipients with your professionalism.<\/p>\n<h3>What to put on the recipient line (and when)<\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s so difficult about this one, right? You just send your email to the desired address! While this is true, it\u2019s a good practice to <strong>save this step for last<\/strong>. You never want to accidentally hit \u201cSend\u201d on an email that\u2019s only half-finished.<\/p>\n<p>You also want to double-check that you&#8217;re absolutely sending it to the right person every time. Email misdelivery is problematic not only because your recipient doesn\u2019t receive your message in time, but also because it creates security risks if you\u2019re sending sensitive information.<\/p>\n<p>Always check the email address before sending\u2014don\u2019t always trust the saved names in your contacts, as similar names can get mixed up easily.<\/p>\n<h3>What to put in the subject line<\/h3>\n<p>Short and sweet is the name of the game here. Your subject line should typically be just a few words long and be capitalized like a title. Here&#8217;s where you tell your recipient your specific purpose for writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Letter of Recommendation Request<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Front Desk Position Application<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Thank You<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>How to write a professional greeting\/salutation<\/h3>\n<p>The greeting is an expected courtesy of professional writing. Just as in a letter, you should start this out with \u201cDear\u201d and then the person\u2019s title and last name. If you\u2019re familiar with the recipient, using a first name is fine, but don\u2019t use this otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Other greetings, such as \u201cGood afternoon\u201d and \u201cHello,\u201d can work, but are best saved for those with whom you\u2019ve previously corresponded. Avoid \u201cHi\u201d and any other colloquial greetings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatup\u201d is not an option.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know the recipient personally, doing your research goes a long way and shows initiative. Make sure that you spell the person&#8217;s name correctly. You also don\u2019t want to assume one\u2019s gender or marital status, so sticking with a title, such as \u201cProfessor,\u201d is best.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve done your research and are still not sure about the person&#8217;s title, using both a first and last name is fine.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Dear Professor Trelawney,<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Good afternoon, Natalia Romanova,<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>How to add a \u201chuman touch\u201d (optional but nice)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920-1024x805.jpg\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920-1024x805.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920-768x604.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920.jpg 1617w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6900 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20393%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20393%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920-1024x805.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920-768x604.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920.jpg 1617w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/robot-3310191_1920-1024x805.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s the first time you\u2019re emailing someone or if you haven\u2019t communicated for an extended period, adding a quick pleasantry is often a nice touch before diving into the body of your email.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><i>I hope this email finds you well.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Thank you for meeting with me last week.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>I hope you had a pleasant weekend.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>What to include in the body of a professional email<\/h3>\n<p>While this should be a brief message (no more than a paragraph or two), there are some things you will need to include to have a rock-solid email that uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/write-formal-essay-impresses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">formal language<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Include the details below in the following order:<\/p>\n<h4>Who you are\/your connection to the recipient<\/h4>\n<p>This gives the recipient some immediate context as to why you\u2019re writing.

So what are they?<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Cc <\/i><\/b>means \u201ccarbon copy\u201d and is used when you want to \u201ccopy\u201d or add others to the message publicly. This is used a lot in the business world when you\u2019re sending an email to someone, but other people need to be involved, such as when working on a collaborative project. It&#8217;s also useful when doing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/how-to-write-a-group-essay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group project<\/a> for a class.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re addressing just one person but need to keep others in the loop, use Cc. It\u2019s also a good idea to let the recipient know the reason you\u2019re copying the others.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Hello T&#8217;Challa, <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>I\u2019m copying Tony, Steve, and Bruce as they will be involved on this project as well.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b><i>Bcc <\/i><\/b>means \u201cblind carbon copy\u201d and is used when you want to add others to the message privately. This isn\u2019t used very often unless you\u2019re sending the same information, such as directions to an event, to many recipients who don\u2019t necessarily know each other.<\/p>\n<p>Unless absolutely necessary, avoid using Bcc at work because it\u2019s rude to let recipients think they are the only recipient of a message that has been sent to multiple people.<\/p>\n<h3>How to send a follow-up email<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920.png\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6901\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920-963x1024.png\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920-963x1024.png 963w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920-282x300.png 282w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920-768x817.png 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920.png 1805w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6901 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20532%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20532%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920-963x1024.png 963w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920-282x300.png 282w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920-768x817.png 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920.png 1805w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/envelope-3413142_1920-963x1024.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Because most of us have smartphones that are constantly connected to the internet, we\u2019re used to getting message replies very quickly. However, don\u2019t expect this to always be the case with emails. It\u2019s not uncommon for an email to go unanswered for hours or even a day or two.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t reach out again, especially if your email was about something important like a job interview or a question on an assignment.<\/p>\n<p>Wait a couple of days to send your follow-up. Any quicker, and you risk pestering the recipient. Any longer, and your window of opportunity to achieve your desired result shrinks.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/careersidekick.com\/follow-up-after-interview-no-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">great guide<\/a> on how to follow up after a job interview with etiquette tips that can work in most any follow-up situation.<\/p>\n<h3>What to keep in mind while replying to professional emails<\/h3>\n<p>To appear professional, you also need to be timely. Even if other people take too long to answer emails, you don\u2019t want to adopt this bad habit. But you definitely have other important things to accomplish during your day, so don\u2019t feel obligated to immediately respond to all emails.<\/p>\n<p>The best approach is to check your emails regularly and set aside a specific time each day to answer them as needed. This will help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/how-to-manage-time-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stay on task<\/a> while allowing you the time to craft thoughtful and carefully worded messages.<\/p>\n<p>When responding, note the tone of the person who sent you the email. Is it as formal as the one you sent? If so, then maintain that tone. Either way, you\u2019ll want to keep being straightforward and concise in your writing.<\/p>\n<p>That said, email replies are just a continuation of the conversation, so you won\u2019t need to include the greeting or \u201chuman touch\u201d because this part of the conversation has already happened.<\/p>\n<p>However, you should always include a closing with a sign-off and your name, just as a professional courtesy. That is, unless it&#8217;s just a quick exchange between colleagues that has already gone on for several messages\u2014this doesn\u2019t require so much formality.<\/p>\n<h3>How to add a signature and contact info<\/h3>\n<p>You can make your email look even more professional by adding a signature. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/how-to-add-a-signature-in-gmail-1172100\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here&#8217;s how<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When you start looking for job opportunities and enter the workforce, including your contact information is common and often expected. When job-hunting, use your personal contact information. When you\u2019re already a part of an organization, use your business contact information.<\/p>\n<p>Add this information after your closing and signature in the following format:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Printed First and Last Name<\/p>\n<p>Job Title (If applicable)<\/p>\n<p>Name of Company (If applicable)<\/p>\n<p>Address<\/p>\n<p>Phone number<\/p>\n<p>Email address<\/p>\n<p>Website (If applicable)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Forging Ahead with Professional Emails<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6898 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20333%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"how to write a professional email\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20333%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920.jpg 1920w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/human-3047535_1920-1024x683.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now you know all about how to write a professional email, so get out there and get some practice!
