写信件时的一个注意点。Key point is to find the balance!

When writing emails, you really want to strike the balance between being professional and friendly. You don't want to use bad grammar, spelling or formatting, because the receiver might perceive you as lazy or incompetent. But you also don't want to be too formal, because you might seem unfriendly enough and cold. However, my personal preference is to err towards too formal, because then at least they'll take you seriously. Some ways to end an email in order of formality are: nothing, thanks, thank you, best, many thanks, kind regards, best regards, sincerely, your sincerely. These are endings that I would use myself in order of how formal they seem to me. For example, if I was emailing a friend, I might put nothing or 'thanks', or 'warmest regards' if I was trying to be funny, because it would sound too formal and out of place. If I was emailing about an important application of some sort, I might use one of the more formal ones, such as 'kind regards' or 'sincerely'. Did you know that if you use 'sincerely' or 'yours sincerely', you're supposed to know the name of the person you're writing to? For example, if I start with Dear Mr. so and so, and I know the person's name even though I've never met him before, then I can end the email with 'sincerely'. If I don't know the name of the specific person, then I should use 'kind regards' or another option. If you can think of an ending that I haven't included here, that's because I don't use it myself, probably because I find it too flowery. That means too fancy and maybe insincere sounding. For example, 'best wishes'. Some people like that one, but I personally find it a bit excessive. In my opinion, the safest one that you can use for virtually anyone and in any situation is 'best'. It's simple, does the job and sounds professional but not too fancy. Okay, so you've got the ending sorted. What about the beginning? Basically, if you want to be formal, you can start with 'dear', and if the other person replies saying 'Hi', then you can continue with 'Hi'. If you still use 'Dear' even after they've established 'Hi' with you, it might be a little bit weird and make you seem cold. When it comes to the body of the text, it's important to not be too direct with British people. It's not a massive problem but if you say something like, 'Please can you send my feedback to me?' to your professor, he or she might feel like you're being a bit brash with them. Yes, it's true that there's not such a strong hierarchy between teacher and student like in some Asian countries but you still need to know your place and be polite to anyone in a senior position to you. Showing respect to authority is very important in keeping good social relationship with people around you. Instead of using 'Please can you', you could add some more hedging such as 'I was just wondering if you might be able to send me my feedback soon please, so that I can start working on the next draft?', 'I was wondering' and a modal verb and 'please' and a reason, is pretty much foolproof. No one's going to think you're rude, if you're using a structure like that. Some other examples, 'Please can you give me more money?' to your boss, you cound just say, 'I was just wondering if it might be possible for you to consider increasing my salary, as I've been working hard at this company for several years now.', 'Please can you not make me do that project?', 'I was just wondering if it might be possible for Sandra to take on that project instead, as I have a lot on my plate at the moment, so I might not be able to meet the deadline.' You always want to get the other person' thoughts before you make decisions, especially if you're lower down in the company. For example, instead of 'I've decided to do...', you could say 'I was thinking of doing...', 'What do you think?' or 'Do you think it would be okay to ...', Don't be afraid to ask questions in English. People like to engage in discussion and they'll feel closer to you if you're being open to discussing different ideas rather than being direct and blunt about things. However, having said that, you obviously also need to show initiative at work. So, find the balance.

In addition, here are some additional explanations:
'out of place' means something is not compatible with the surroundings.
'initiative at work' means somebody is active and eager to work.
