Writing academy emails
- Academy emails are usually personal, not official. You are writing to a specific, named individual. Not to somebody in their official role.
- The level of politeness you need will vary. If you are asking a favour of an academic outside your University, you need to express a higher level of politeness than if you are asking your own teacher for a meeting. Emails between colleague can be very informal.
- Remember to use a level of formality and politeness to achieve an appropriate tone.
