Don’t Let Your Emails Sound Like a Dusty Museum Exhibit. Update Them for the Digital Age!
Do your emails sound more like history books than modern-day messages?
Phrases like “I should be very grateful” and “as per our regulations” might’ve sounded cool… in the past.
But your emails deserve a 21st-century makeover!
Let’s toss out those dusty phrases you learned in school and use a little more up-to-date language.
Let’s see how!
| Rather than this … | Try this … |
| As per our agreement | As we agreed |
| I apologise for any inconvenience | Sorry for any trouble |
| At your earliest convenience | As soon as possible / When you get a chance |
| Pleased find attached | I’m attaching / I’ve attached |
| Thank you for your cooperation | Thanks for your help |
| I’m writing to inform you that … | I wanted to let you know that … |
| Kindly send me | Please send me |
| It has come to my attention that … | I’ve noticed that … |
| Pleased be advised that … | Just a quick note to let you know … |
| I should be grateful … | Please … |
Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
