Provide enough information/details for the recipient to understand your question or concern. • 5. Proof read for correct spelling, grammar and completeness of ideas.

Email communication • 7. When possible, politely state when you will be able to check for a response. Example- • I know you are busy. I will be able to check my email for a response after 7:00 p.m. this evening. (Omit this if it sounds demanding. • DO NOT REQUEST INFORMATION AND THEN NOT CHECK FOR A RESPONSE! • 8.

ERRONEOUS* EXAMPLE • *Contains errors/is unprofessional • Hey, did you get my essay? it is late cuzi forget to include intexts but i was absent so then cant it not lose points. Let me know rt away.
Professional Example • Hi Ms. Schaner: • This is Sam M from first hour. Please find attached to this email my essay submission. I apologize for its being after the due date, but I had forgotten to double check my in-text citations. I was wondering if I will still receive full credit. I had an excused absence on the day before it was due. Because I was throwing up, I did not finish it the day I was gone. I know it was my responsibility and if it receives a grade reduction, I understand. • Thank you for your time.
