It may appear to be a touch archaic, but it is more official to use "I am writing to." However, it is still used in commercial correspondence. It is clear that the author and receiver do not have a close relationship. Therefore, there is no need for formalities.
An alternative form is "You are about to receive an email from me." This appears more modern and avoids any ambiguity regarding the relationship between the two parties.
As long as you are writing to someone who you believe to be your friend or colleague, then you can use either version of the sentence.
Because this is a professional business letter, it must begin with "I am writing to you." The phrase "writing you" is colloquial and casual. Use it in informal letters, but not in business communications.
It is common practice to start letters with expressions of respect and admiration, so as to create a good atmosphere for communication. This letter is no exception; it begins with such phrases as "Dear Mr. Jones," and "Skilled artisans..."
The word "you" is used instead of "your" because this is a business letter, and the word "you" refers to more than one person. In fact, most business letters are sent to more than one person. If it were not for that reason, they would be known as "letters to many."
In conclusion, a professional business letter starts with a greeting followed by a body that talks about the subject at hand. This letter is different from a personal note because it is written by someone who is not involved in your life, nor does it discuss any past or present events.
Furthermore, a personal note may include a handwritten component, while a business letter cannot be handwritten due to its formal nature.
Write the message's body. You may write it whatever you like depending on the type of communication and who you're sending it to. You may make your email sound more personal if you're writing to a close friend; but, if you're sending a business letter, you should keep the email as professional as possible. Avoid using abbreviations or slang words when writing emails.
In addition to the content of your email, it also helps to know what kind of email this is. Is it a reply email? An original email? A forwarded email? Knowing this will help you decide how you want to format your email's body. For example, if you are replying to an email, it is acceptable to do so with a response email. Alternatively, you can use one of the forwarding features available in many mail programs to send a copy of the original email to another user. In these cases, the best practice is to delete the original email after reading its contents over again.
Finally, be sure to follow basic email etiquette when writing emails. This includes having a correct address at the beginning of the email, not sending unwanted emails to people who haven't asked you to, not including your phone number in your email address, and not sending spam. These rules help people identify important emails from those not related to them which saves time for everyone involved.
The tone of your emails is heavily influenced by who you're writing to. Although emails are regarded less professional than letters, the majority of the 205 billion emails exchanged every day are for business purposes. Emailing friends and family may not be as common, but that doesn't mean that it's any less emotional!
Email messages are shorter than letters, with an average length of only 4 minutes 39 seconds. This is because people have a limited amount of time they can spend reading messages. They will generally only read the first few sentences of any email message before deciding how they feel about it and moving on to other things in their lives. This is why it's important to write concise and clear subject lines so that people know what they're looking at when they open their inboxes.
People also have a limited number of words they can type into their computers per hour. This is why there are some guidelines for users about how many characters and paragraphs they can include in their emails. These limits vary between software programs, but most allow up to two pages of text or 14,000 characters.
Finally, people prefer to read stories rather than documents. This is why most emails include a summary section at the end which restates the main points from the message and suggests ways in which it can be acted upon.
