Email Tips +

  • A unique and personalised message will always have more impact than a pre-written email. 

  • Your message doesn’t need to be long, in fact shorter is better (for example, 200 words). 

  • Be assertive and respectful. Remember there’s another person on the other end of your email who needs to read it.
