-I have seen many people having problem with using email, especially from my classmates.
-Writing email is an important skill, and knowing how to write email properly is respecting
-the recipient.
-
-In this article I am writing about:
-
-- Structure of a good email
-- Information you should include in an email
-- What not to include in an email
-
-It also includes my email preference. If you violate too many red flags I stated here I probably won't read your mail.
-
-# Email Structure
-
-Here is a generic email structure:
-
-	[Tag] Subject
-
-	Greeting: Hi/Dear [name]/Sir/Madame/To whom it may concern,
-
-	Introduction
-
-	Elaboration
-
-	Regards
-
-	Signature
-
-## Subject
-
-Some people find it hard to come up with a good email subject.
-
-## Greeting
-
-It's not a problem for most people, though I have personally received many emails without greeting.
-An email is not a private message, and even for private message you probably should do a greeting
-before a conversation as well.
-
-Note:
-
-- Hi/Hello is informal, so you probably should avoid it if you don't know the person.
-- You could include the person's title (e.g., Dr.) if you like and the other person is comfortable, but for me personally, don't use Mr.
-- Refer to the person with their preferred name. For me, this means don't use my family name[^1]. Also, don't deadname trans people.
-
-## Introduction
-
-It is necessary to introduce yourself if you and the other person don't know each other. Start with
-
-	My name is... I am ...
-	I am writing this mail to ...
-
-If you know the person, you can just come to the reason you're writing this mail.
-
-## Regards and Signature
-
-To close an email, you should end it with:
-
-- Sincerely,
-- Regards,
-- Yours cordially,
-- Best,
-
-... followed by your name. 
-
-# Send in plain text
-# Language
-# Pronoun
-# Attachment
-
-[^1]: I would say it's the same for all other Vietnamese people. Vietnamese people currently has quite few family name,
-and most of them are "Nguyen", therefore we never refer to one another as family name. This could be different for other Asian culture,
-e.g. Chinese or Japanese people may use family name in formal situation.
