Professional e-mail
 

How do you want your students' parents or your boss to see you? What kind of e-mail address should you have for work? What kind of signature should you put in your mail? What register of language should you use? What format makes you look like a professional to be respected rather than like a clueless kid?

Mrs. Jones,
As Johnny's Spanish II teacher, I have noticed a change in his level of effort in class recently. Although I have talked with him about this one-on-one, perhaps we can work together to identify the problem and help him be more successful in the class. Please let me know if there is a convenient time when I can call in the evening. If you prefer, you can reach me at school during my prep period from 1:27 to 2:12.

Thank you very much,
Jennifer Smith
