怎么写出一个有效的标题呢?
写邮件的方式很多。邮件写给不同的人,在不同的场合,带着不同的目的则需要不同的写邮件方式。在此,为了提高您的技能,让您的电子邮件书写更专业,HeyMail 将向您介绍一些有助于正式业务沟通、写出有效标题的小技巧,以帮助您提高工作效率和工作绩效。
Subject Line:
Do: Be specific, be precise, be simple, and accurately describe your content and convey the purpose.
USE DO NOT : leave it blank, be vague, USE ALL CAPITALS, be offensive and hasty i.e. Read Immediately!! Important!! Quick Question!
When you write it, make sure that it contains few word of what your mail is about. Also, try to make it sound important by adding words like ‘updated’, ‘modified’, ‘new’. Try to avoid overusing words like urgent or important. Otherwise, the recipient will ignore.
标题:
建议:标题要具体、精确、简单、准确地描述您的内容并传达目的。
不建议:标题不要保持空白,模糊,不要使用大写,不要无礼和草率,也就是,不要过度使用:“立刻阅读”、“非常重要”、“小问题,不用花太多时间”等语句,这些只在必要时使用。
当你写邮件的时候,确保它包含一些关于你的邮件的内容。此外,尝试添加一些词汇,“更新”,“改进”,“新的消息”突出邮件的重要性。尽量避免过度使用像:紧急的或重要的,否则收件人会忽略,或并不会打开你的邮件。
Let the recipient know if you require a response as an acknowledgement is necessary in some situations.
In some cases, it becomes essential that the recipient not only reads your email but, also sends an acknowledgement in the shape of a response. In such a case, it is good to include it in the subject line e.g. Meeting on Friday – confirm by 9PM
让收件人知道您是否需要回复,因为在某些情况下这是非常必要的。
在某些情况下,收件人不仅要阅读您的电子邮件,而且还要以回复的形式确认邮件已收到,对某些人来说,回复确认邮件是至关重要的。
在这种情况下,最好将这种需求写在标题栏中,例如:星期五开会——请在9点前确认。
Mention the person who referred you and make your offer clear
If you are mailing someone for the first time and there is a person who referred you, then mention the name of that person. It adds clarity and the recipient is then less likely to ignore the email. For example, Application for internship C/O Andrew Knolt. For a cold email, make your offer very clear and state it concisely.
提及那些推荐你的人,确保你的意图是明确的。
如果您是第一次发邮件给某人,并且有一个人向他推荐了您,请提及该人的姓名。这样做增加了清晰度,减少了接收者忽略邮件的可能。例如,申请实习 C / O Andrew Knolt。对于不是特别熟但想要对方帮忙的邮件,确保您的意图非常清晰,陈述非常简洁。
Give it a personal touch
It is good to refer to the recipient by their name as it creates affinity between the sender and the recipient.
注入一些人情味
在收件人和接收者之间建立亲密联系时,最好用他们的名字来称呼收件人。
Remember, your recipients could be your employers, business partners, and clients. Your future depends on your proper communication. It starts with your subject line in the email.
Make sure to follow the guidelines for effective and efficient communication and get the tasks done!
