In the final part of my blog I will discuss how to properly close an email. If you have a concluding paragraph you should summarize the important information again. If there are attachments, make sure to mention them in the email so that the recipient does not miss it. If you need a response to your email you must also remind the recipient to get back to you in a timely manner.
End the email with a 'Thank you' or a similar salutation and end with your your name. It shows respect to the recipient. Here are some good closing line examples (Opening and closing lines, n.d.):

In the last few posts we have learned how important subject and grammar are in email writing. Without these components an e-mail is not good and complete.
Have your opinions on email changed after reading these blog posts? If so, how? What do you agree/disagree with? Let me know in the comments section.
