How To Save Money On Sending Flowers: Insider Tips From A Florist

Dear Friend,

I thought you might be interested in watching this New Topic.

Dear Brother Nader Green, and Br. Dr. Mohammad Ashraf:

Thank you very much for your kind e-mail message regarding the Mathematics Decathlon program.

I would like to bring it in your kind notice that on Sunday, April 07, 2013, I will be having my Calculus – III lecture from 1:00 PM to 2:15 PM.

Therefore the scheduled proposed time will not be suitable for me to participate in the program as I will be having class at the same time.

However if possible then I will be happy and ready to participate partially from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM on Sunday, April 07, 2013, but in that case I will have to leave in the middle of the program to take my lecture from 1:00 PM to 2:15 pm.

I am pleased to send you the complete Class Schedule for the current Spring Semester of 2012- 2013.

It will be my great pleasure and honor to participate in the program provided it could be rescheduled at another suitable time when I may not have my classes.

With my best regards and best wishes to you.

Dr. Raja Mohammad Latif

40 Different Email Greetings You Can Use in Your Next Message

Looking for inspiration? Here you go.

By The Muse

Do you know what I just spent way too long doing? Scrolling through all of my sent messages.

I realized two very important (and slightly embarrassing) things:

One: I send way too many emails. I mean way too many.

Two: I start nearly every single one with "I hope you're doing well!" Seriously. Every. Single. One.

Has anyone ever been full of more hope than me?

Jokes aside, You wouldn't think that your email greeting would be that complicated to write.

But, I've learned that landing on that perfect sentence that seamlessly segues into the rest of my note is an art form in and of itself.

Do you find yourself as stumped as I do? You're in luck. I've rounded up 40 different email greetings you can use to kick start your message. Because, let's face it--nobody actually means "Happy Monday!"

If You Need Something Formal

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Good afternoon

Good morning

How are you?

Hope this email finds you well

I hope you enjoyed your weekend

I hope you're doing well

I hope you're having a great week

I hope you're having a wonderful day

It's great to hear from you

Happy "Not Monday"

I'll keep this short

I'm sorry if this Message sabotaged "inbox zero" for you

Just what you want: another email!

It's important to keep in mind that not all of these opening lines will be appropriate for every email you send. An important client or your boss, for example, will probably require something from the "formal" category. But, a close colleague or long-time friend? Well, he or she might get a kick out of a funny greeting that strays from the tried and true standards.

At any rate, there's no need to follow in my footsteps and begin every single one of your messages with the same greeting. Now that I have this list pulled together, you can bet I'll be using it as inspiration for all of my emails--and, I think you should too.

Have another opening line that you love to use? Let me know on Twitter what I missed.
