Professional emails
A professional email is any communication you make when writing to someone in a professional setting, such as sending a Zendesk ticket to the Microverse’ Student Success team. These letters should have a standard format and a professional tone. Focus on using the concise language for professional emails as the recipient might have several communications to work through each day. Writing clear messages also improves your communication skills. Professional emails are brief and efficient, including all pertinent information, keeping both parties focused on the task.
