How to write a formal email

Simple rules and ready-made templates in English and Arabic — copy them and send from your company address.

A clear, specific subject

Summarize the message in a few words, e.g. Request for a hosting quotation.

The right greeting

In English: Dear Mr. Ahmad. In Arabic: السيد أحمد المحترم، تحية طيبة وبعد.

Get to the point

A short first paragraph with the reason for writing, then details in bullet points.

Professional closing and signature

Best regards, then your name, title and phone number.

Send it from a business address

The same message looks far more serious from name@company.com than from a free address.

Send your formal emails from an address with your company name
