Tips
发送邮件前请仔细检查,避免拼写/称呼/附件遗漏/收件人邮箱等低级错误
邮件措辞尽量客气礼貌,避免强硬的要求,比如:You have to / must / need to,多用请求类语句Could you please…/ May I have…/ I’d love to…
发邮件的时间注意选择工作日的工作时间,如果有时差设置定时发送
使用专业的邮箱地址,比如给Prof发邮件尽量使用学校edu邮箱
收到回信记得礼貌回复,不管是否还有其他问题或后续输出,都请及时回复并表示感谢
心态:不要怕写错/语言不地道/用词不准确,只要能清晰表达自己的意思让对方理解即可。同时,邮件往来的过程也是学习书写的过程,所以不用担心,时间长了就熟悉啦!
