How are you? It was good talk yesterday.
I’m finalizing the details of the Leadership Course and I want to be sure that everything is correct. Can you check the brochure again before it goes to the printer, especially page 5-7? Please email me or call me on my mobile if any changes are needed.
Best regards

Notes
Hi Kim
The way you begin and end a message depends on how well you know the person you are writing to. A good guide is to use the same beginning and ending (or a slightly more formal one) as the other person. In informal emails some people do not use the person’s name but start the message:
Hi/Hello/Good morning/Afternoon
How are you?
When you know each other well, you often begin a message with a friendly greeting. Other openings: Hope you are well. It was good to see you last week.
I’m finalizing the details…
Saying why you are writing:
I’m writing to let you know...
Just a not to let you know…
This is to let you know that…
Note how contracted forms I’m(I am), You’ar(You are)etc. are informal and offen used in emails.
Best regards
The way to end a message is a matter of personal choice, but if you are writing first, it is best to be more formal than too informal.
Some other informal endings: Regards
Best wishes
All the best
Cheers (very informal UK English)
Anders
You can begin an email by simply writing the person’s name at the top of a message.
No changes needed
Note that the verb are (No changes are needed) has been left out here to keep the message short and simple.
Dear Ms Novotna – Yours sincerely
In emails which follow the style of more formal letters, if you open with a name: Dear Ms/Mrs/Miss/Mr; you close with Yours sincerely. However, in emails the rules are more relaxed – you can begin a message with Dear and end it with Best regards, Best wishes etc.(see notes above)
Ms is used instead of Mrs or Miss if you do not know if a woman is married or not.
Some women prefer to be called Ms.
Piki Gonales(Mrs)
A little old-fashioned, but when the reader may not know from your name whether you can male or femaie, you can help by giving your title, e.g.Piki Gonzales (Ms) at the end of your message.
I look forward to meeting you…
This is one of the most common phrases used at the end of message. Note the –ing form of the verb which follows look forward to: I look forward to hearing from you. I look forward to receiving the report.
Dear Sir/Madam -- Yours faithfully
Use Dear Sir/Madam is formal messages, if you do not know the person you are writing to. Dear Sir is also used. This type of message usually ends with: Yours faithfully.
Senior Manager
As this is a first formal email, the writer includes his name and position. In well-established relationship, with frequent communication, this is not necessary.
