Nisso Ajuste de e-mail lição, estamos vendo um e-mail de Jimmy, quem é o oficial de treinamento de sua empresa. Jimmy deseja notificar os vários chefes de departamento sobre um seminário que sua equipe estará presente. Este é um e-mail interno, o que geralmente significa que é um pouco mais informal do que algo enviado para fora da empresa. No entanto, está sendo enviado para gerentes em uma posição superior à de Jimmy, então o tom deve ser respeitoso e não muito informal.

I’s very good, I’m Italian and I don’t speak a good English but I understood it very well.
E-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”.
