The vast majority of business correspondence is through email. We’ve previously included a post with links to exercises and key vocabulary for business emails.

But now let’s consider some subtleties of tone and context and how you can fine-tune your emails for specific purposes. The best way to do this is to look at real-life examples.

Dmitry Dragilev is a Public Relations expert and has taken the time to collect and analyse well-written business emails for different purposes.
