How can you write a work email that impresses your boss?

Here's my pathway! 1. Start with "I know you're super busy, so I'm going to bold the main points for you to skim - feel free to read the rest later and get back to me when you can!" 2. Write free flow - get it all out there (how you feel, whatever) 3. Re-read and bold the main points! (Try to keep it to 4-5) 4. Read again, edit to condense, and adjust for any spelling errors unless you have Grammarly, then you're already kicking ass. 5. Solve a problem that you notice is happening or could be refined to simplify processes for the client/owner journey to prove you're learning your sh*t. 5. Express gratitude for reading and wish them a good day with an open-ended question of choice to keep the conversation flowing! ??

Mail must be 1- Short words 2- simple words 3- clear with number and examples 4- suggestions and solutions 5- use tool 5W + 1H

Give a backdrop and purpose of the email, pull in what happened so far and state what you want to achieve out of this email. It is important to be concise and effective in the way you write the email. Boss should be able to understand the email at a glance and be able to respond without having to dig around for more info to come to a decision, more importantly propose a solution if you have one.

Keep it concise, while also sharing what you are looking for in return. Are you looking for their input, recommendation, feedback? Make it clear so they know what is expected of them. Mention the date by which a decision needs to be made and the impact if there are delays. If you are trying to get their approval on a project, share the positives of the project clearly and logically.

Crafting a work email that impresses your boss involves a combination of professionalism, clarity, and a focus on adding value. Some tips are, 1. Clear and Concise Subject Line 2. Professional Greeting 3. Opening Line 4. Purpose Statement 5. Provide Context 6. Highlight Benefits or Solutions 7. Use Professional Language 8. Organized Structure 9. Be Solution-Oriented 10. Show Initiative 11. Call to Action 12. Express Appreciation 13. Proofread 14. Follow-Up Information 15. Use a Professional Signature

Interesting take. In my experience, I would substitute catchy for relevant, effective, efficient phrasing of emails especially when you know it will become a thread. The title should be a summary of the content you are about to deliver but narrowed down to key words of matter (imo)

Remembering to use a greeting can be hard when someone else doesn’t. In modeling this, in addition to just being polite, you are cueing the recipient to reply in a similar fashion. It is an opportunity to build a relationship no matter the content. I avoid having the same sign off as it can come across poorly in an unmatched scenario. Example: Thanks, Molly - is great for receiving information I am thankful for, but not when someone is raising a concern. In that case it could sound sarcastic over email.

+Number talk: I always use number to back up for my suggestions and ideas + Keep it concise and to the point + Give him/her options of your solution when writing to ask for support, dont just ask how to handle with your problem, you are hired to solve his problem

Or just don’t email your boss. Their inbox is full. Only email with good news. If there’s an issue, have some suggested solutions. Then when you really need something, follow steps above. ???

It is important that the mail communicates the main subject in clear and concise format. Check for any spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. Keep the length short unless absolutely necessary.

Always proofread before sending: Check your email for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Poorly written emails can create a negative impression. Take the time to review and revise your email before hitting the send button.

Most of the times, I would write the email, pause and do something else, and come back to the email again and read it again and edit.
