Example templates for Writing Emails in English

Have you ever realized when you need help in writing an English email, that everybody has advice but nobody really gives you the words?

And it's all about the words...
Like, how do you start the email?
Or, what do you write as a greeting, to a colleague?
And, how do you politely say "Send me the information, already!!!" without sounding rude or impatient?

Well, this is a great place to start. I've listed for you:
  1. Example sentences for the different parts of the email
  2. A link to a free lesson on Guided Writing for Emails in English
  3. A software program to help you improve your writing in English
