Writing a Professional Email

I read this blog from one of the other student's blog site. The essay that was written was about how to write professional emails. Typcailly, emails are very informal however, due to the fact that many times these days, the way that people apply for jobs is through email, it is very important to be able to compose a well written email. The essay says that the employer does not always read the entire cover letter, however, it is very important that it is well composed so in the case that they do. If you are writing an email, it is important that they take you seriously, there are a variety of ways to make sure that you are taken seriously. Some are don't use emoticons ( such as :0 ) other things that are important no to have are being too informal, misspelling or poor grammar, no capitalization, and spelling the words the way that they sound. The authors says that she knows it might be difficult for students to switch from casual to formal writing so it is importnat to reread the email that you have sent and see where your mistakes were.
