Now, let’s look at how to start your email! 
If you know the name of the person you are emailing and have a formal relationship 
with them, begin by saying ‘Dear Ms [Surname],’. If you don’t know the person’s name, 
use ‘Dear Sir/Madam’, or ‘To whom it may concern’. 
Top Tip: Remember to always include a comma after ‘Dear [Name]’! 
If you have a more casual or informal relationship with the person you’re emailing, 
something like ‘Hi [First Name]’ or ‘Hello [First Name]’ is perfectly acceptable.

Explain who you are, including any important information that is related to your

Signing off depends on your relationship with the reader – let’s take a look at the

Let’s take a look at an example at what we’ve got so far:

writing to ask for more information about the English courses you have available at EC 
Oxford. I have studied English in school, but would like to improve my abilities at your 
school.’ 
‘Thank you very much for your time. 
Sincerely, 
Jane Smith’
