Composing A New Message ***Remember that emails on Outlook are intended to look more formal than text messages or social media posts. Spelling and grammar are important! Make sure to be clear and polite, especially if you are asking for help or a favor! Who your message is intended for—make sure their address is entered exactly right! Carbon Copy—people entered here will get the same message as anyone in the To field Short “title” for message—should only be a few words and should be capitalized Hi Mr. Gordon, (Capitalized greeting ends with a comma, no punctuation before name) (hit enter again to leave a line space before your message) I wanted to make sure I did the right assignment. Can you remind me which lessons I should do? (hit enter again to leave space before your closing) Thank you, (Closing should be a nice indicator that your note is done, end with a comma) Bruce (Your name)
