Business communications have to be clear and concise, one of the ways to achieve this is to have a simple format that makes it easy for the reader or the recipient to scan quickly.

The important parts of the e-mail above include:

The Subject line: this is the heading of the communication and it comes after the 'to' and 'from' fields.

Main Idea: In the spirit of keeping an e-mail concise, it is important to go straight to the main reason you are sending the e-mail. This should be done in one sentence.

Explaining the body: The writer here explained the body of the e-mail with bullet points. This is useful when you have more than one idea.

Closing with a purpose: if there is any required action from the reader, this is where you put it. It is the paragraph of the call to action such as, if you require the person to call you, or prepare some materials.
