Have you ever needed to write an email in English, but you were not sure of how to do that? Maybe you have asked yourself questions such as:
“Is that the right word to use?”
“Was that rude to say?”
“How can I say that in English?”
These are, of course, very common things to wonder about, and today, we are going to figure out how to write emails in English for professional purposes.
Let’s go!
