You also have to end them with “Please favor me with your prompt reply.”
i’m going to start all of my emails, both professional and personal, with a greeting that includes “i hope the year is profitable.”
here’s an example:
dear grandma,
i hope the year is profitable. i haven’t had the pleasure of dropping into lincoln recently, so i wanted to touch base and connect with you on your dog, beau. are there any elements of dog caretaking that i can provide support on?
please do feel free to loop back with any questions or feedback you may have on this email. i would also be happy to jump on a call and discuss these issues with you. for now, here are some actionable insights coming out of our conversation:
1. tell beau i say hi
2. can i come visit on the 4th of july
3. i miss you!
best,
annicka
granddaughter | digital strategist
ps. i love and miss you.
