- Type your email address into the box labeled “To”
- Type a subject that summarizes your email into the box labeled “Subject.”
- Open with a greeting, followed by the person’s name and a comma. Since this is an email to a friend, you can say something casual like Hi/ Hello/ Hey (name)!, Hi there, (name)!, Dear (name), “Hi Everyone!”
- Ask them how they’re doing. Skip a line, and ask a question like, “How are you doing?” “ How are you?” or make a statement like, “What’s new?”, "Hope you are well”, “I hope you’re doing well.” This shows your friend you care about them.
- Writing the Email Body. Tell them why you’re writing. Your reasons for writing.
- Close your email with conclusion (wishing follow-up contacts) and a wishing well, like “Best wishes”, “Talk to you soon,” or “Love,” “Take care!”, “ Bye for now. Keep cool!” Write me back soon”.
- Sign your email. Skip a couple lines and type your name.
- Proofread your email to look for spelling and grammar mistakes. A mistake-free email will be easier for your friend to read. Double check to make sure you have the right email address for your friend, too.
- Press send. When your email is ready to go, click the button at the bottom of your email that says “send.”
All done!
