An e-mail is the fastest way to communicate in writing. The word e-mail simply means electronic mail, which we send across the Internet or other computer networks.
An e-mail can be sent from a computer or from a smartphone that has access to the Internet.
In this post, you will learn the Email writing format.
Some Facts about E-mail
- An e-mail is sent using an account that stores all your sent and received messages online.
- E-mail accounts can be created with e-mail service providers such as Gmail, Yahoo!, and AOL.
- Most of these service providers do not charge you to create an email account.
- An e-mail account is operated through a personal e-mail address (e.g. abc@xyz.com ) which can be accessed only with a password (a series of letters or numbers).
- Your password is a secret and should never be shared with anyone!
- You can send written messages, photos, videos, and audio files through e-mail.
Difference between a Letter and an E-mail

Respected Sir,
This is to bring to your notice that, I need a full day’s leave (15 June) due to an emergency at home. I will be joining in and even will try to arrive after the situation is soothed.
Sir, I require this leave due to the long-term disease of my Grandfather who is going to get operated on soon. He has been admitted to AMRI international hospital. I need to stay with him in this situation as none of my ménage belongs to this city and we live apart from our families.
I am a responsible employee and never leave my office unless there is a dire emergency. According to my previous records which may be checked if needed, I have been keen and very particular with my professionalism and work and have never been informed of any complaints issued regarding any of my discourses.
I shall be grateful to you.
Thanks in anticipation
Yours sincerely,
Rajat Sen, Senior Technician, Vital Technology
