[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 225701, member: 42112"] Hey! Good questions! For a written exercise, I always aimed for a professional but not overly formal tone. For sign-offs, I'd say you can use: [LIST] [*]Client email: Kind regards / Yours sincerely (if very formal) [*]Supervisor / partner: Kind regards / Best wishes [/LIST] So yes, you can adjust slightly based on audience, but I would use "Kind Regards" if in doubt! In terms of how to address them: [LIST] [*]Supervisor / Partner: "Dear [First Name]" is generally acceptable internally unless told otherwise [*]Clients: it is safer to use "Dear Mr / Ms [Surname]" unless the scenario indicates a more familiar relationship [/LIST] You don'y necessarily need big report-style headings, unless the task suggests it. However, I found it useful to use headings to create a structure that makes the email clearer to read, especially if multiple issues are being analysed. Clarity is the overall priority - it's important that you show you can organise information logically for a client! I hope that helps :) [/QUOTE]
