5 ways to open a formal e-mail in English

After our workshop this week on Effective E-mailing in English, we thought it would be nice to share some of the useful expressions that we covered.

Below are 5 phrases you can use near the beginning of a formal email:

1. I am writing in connection with...
2. With regard to... / With reference to ….
3. Thank you for your email received 12 February
4. I apologize for not getting in contact ….
5. Please find attached my report.
