Structure of E-Mails

Study the layout and structure of an informal e-mail (sample 1).
Compare it with a formal one (sample 2).

Re: Hours of business

Could you e-mail me your opening hours and exact address as I'd like to come to your showroom and look through your most recent stock. Is it easy to park nearby? Thanks for your help.

Regards
George Karpos

Sample 2

To : Sunny Electronic House < SunElectromics@suneh.com.hk.>
From : Peter Ma < PMa@hotmail.com.>
Date: 10 October 2000
Subject: Tony B52 Cassette Decks


We would be grateful if you could send us a catalogue and price list for the above
Cassette Decks, which were advertised recently in the China Technology Post.

Our college will have an intake of around 2,000 new students in January, 20001, and we would like to update our language learning facilities.

Our language learning laboratory seats 40 students and we envisage each student with a cassette deck for language learning purposes. We would therefore be looking at an initial order of 40 cassette decks. We would also appreciate any advice you could give us on the appropriate design and layout of a language laboratory.

We look forward to hearing from you.


Best Wishes

Peter Ma
