The semi-formal style is similar to a business letter, but less formal and shorter. A likely ending is Best wishes rather than Yours sincerely. This style is best used for e-mails to people outside your company, or who you do not know well. The emphasis is on the efficient provision orexchange of information.

Subject:    Meeting in Berlin

The informal style is suitable for e-mails within your company and for people whom you know well. The greeting is often Hi, Hello or even Howare you?The style is much closer to spoken than written English.

Hi James
