0 hi, 02br 00the first thing i can suggest you is to introduce yourself to the people you are writing to (if they don`t know you) 02br 00Another point is be sure that you`ve explained your problem, request or your idea so explicitly that the receiver doesn`t have any question in his mind about your mail. What`s your intention or aim to write me this mail? 02br 00And end your mail with "yours` faithfully" 02br 00i hope this works 02br 00best regards.

00"Yours faithfully," is used in very formal business letters. I would not use it in a message to my boss or to my fellow workers. I would use an informal greeting such as: 02br
