Formal e-mail:

Dear Mr. Boss,

Just a short note to let you know that I put the report about the research results on your desk.

However some time later Mr. Smith asked me if he could read the report to get some information about the new project. I told him to ask you about it.

Yours sincerely

Andreas Morbach

E-Mail to a friend:


Dear Sebastian,

Just a quick one to say sorry for not coming to your party yesterday.

As I have already told you, I have to stay in bed because I am sick.
I’m still feeling bad, but when I’m all right again we will go out together.
Maybe to the disco or something like that

Cheers for now

Andreas
