La estructura de un correo electrónico en inglés

1. SALUDO

Aquí debes tener en cuenta si ya conoces a la persona, si hay cierta confianza o si no la conoces de nada para elegir un tono formal o informal para saludar.

Saludos formales

• Dear [nombre]: Es el más común en correos electrónicos formales. Incluye el nombre del destinatario seguido de una coma y comienza tu mensaje en el siguiente párrafo.
• Hello [nombre]: Es algo menos formal, pero apropiado en un contexto profesional. Incluye el nombre del destinatario seguido de una coma, igual que en el anterior.
• Good morning/afternoon/evening: Este también es un saludo formal con el que te no te diriges a nadie en concreto.
• Dear Sir/Madam: Si no conoces el nombre del destinatario ni a qué persona te estás dirigiendo, utiliza este saludo.
• To whom it may concern: Este podría decirse que es el más formal de todo y se utiliza cuando no se sabe el nombre de la persona.

Saludos informales

• Hi [nombre]: Podría decirse que es el más común en los emails informales. Incluye el nombre seguido de una coma.
• Hello [nombre]: Es algo más formal que hi, pero también vale para contextos informales.
• Hey [nombre]: Este es el más informal de todos y deberías utilizarlo únicamente con amigos o compañeros con los que tengas muy buena relación.
