What is email?

Email stands for electronic mail. It is the way of sending messages digitally. We can say it is the replacement of letters. Nowadays it is one of the most commonly used to send messages on the internet as it is the very easiest and fastest method of communication.


Types of email

We can divide emails into three different categories. The first one is formal email, second is Semi-formal email and third one is informal email. These are the different types of email.

  • Formal email 

It includes the need based official messages you want to convey. It may be regarding a job application, requesting, permission, the tone of such email is formal, the content of  email should be short and simple, similarly the subject should be stated clearly just in one sentence.

  • Semi formal email 

The language of semi formal email can be a little bit casual or friendly but the purpose of writing email is official. The  examples of semi formal email are the emails that contain complaints or requests for any public services. These are the emails that arise out of once civil duty or once desire to get involved in public issues.

  • Informal email

This type of email we use while communicating with our friends and family members. There are no restrictions on the use of language.

We can divide this section into three parts or paragraphs.


  1. Intro- The first paragraph should be an introduction of the subject where you briefly mention the topic you are writing an email. While writing an intro, be clear and direct. It should be in a pleasant and simple language. If you are applying for a job , mention the job title, from where you come to know about the job. Give reference about the advertisement with date and source.

If you are applying for a job, mention briefly the most important qualification relevant for the job, you have. write about your skill, describe what you have to offer the employer. if you are writing a complaint then write a problem you are facing and mention the solution if you have you can also request to solve that problem. 

  3. Conclusion- This is the final paragraph of email where you conclude your mail by thanking the recipient for considering mail.


Complimentary close - Here use the words like yours faithfully, yours sincerely for official use or use yours sincerely, yours lovingly your friend, if writing to a friend or relatives. Following this, mention your name with your last name and your designation.
