Write Clear Subject Lines
Use a specific subject line like “Application for [Program Name] – [Your Name]” to help recipients prioritize your email.
Use Formal Salutations
Begin with “Dear [Title] [Last Name]” and avoid casual greetings like “Hi” or “Hey.” This sets a professional tone from the start.
Keep the Body Concise
Introduce yourself, state your purpose, list attached documents, and express gratitude. Avoid long paragraphs or irrelevant background stories.
Attach Correct Files
Double-check that your CV, motivation letter, and transcripts are attached and named properly. Mention attachments explicitly in the email.
