En esto Optimización del correo electrónico lección, estamos viendo un correo electrónico de Jimmy, quién es el oficial de capacitación de su empresa. Jimmy quiere notificar a los distintos jefes de departamento de un próximo seminario al que asistirá su personal. Este es un correo electrónico interno, lo que generalmente significa que es un poco más informal que algo que se envía fuera de la empresa. Sin embargo, se envía a gerentes de un rango superior al de Jimmy, por lo que el tono debe ser respetuoso y no demasiado informal.

I’s very good, I’m Italian and I don’t speak a good English but I understood it very well.
hora del este-06 has helped me a lot to understand the better way to write a mail on business. But I’m still confuse on how I can make a email formal/informal and decisive/tentative. I wonder if you can help me to explaint more about modal verbs/words in order to understand how I can be more or less polite and change the tone on a email.
@ Alejandro,
You raise an excellent point: How to vary the tone in English? As you mention, the use of modals verbs is key to varying tone but there are also other techniques that come into play. I think this is a topic we need to look at in detail for both written and spoken English, so expect to see some lessons on tone in the new year.
Is it right to address to “department heads” or would it be better or also possible to write “heads of department”?
@Rapsak,
If you’re referring to the salutation (greeting), I would use “Department Heads”.
