Read the formal e-mail. Dear Mr. Townsend, Our neighborhood watch group would like to accept your offer to visit with our group
next month. Your proposed presentation addresses many of the issues that are of immediate concern to our group. Given your impressive credentials, we value your input and look forward to your presentation. To solidify the details, please use my contact information below to contact me. Sincerely, Marissa Lee What is the main reason this e-mail is not appropriate for a formal purpose?
I believe the answer is: While the e-mail contains formal language in the body, the salutation is formatted incorrectly and the contact information is missing.
The contact information should be placed on top of the format question so the receiver know where he/she should send the reply.
Before placing salutation, it is important to address the name and position of the person who receive the salutation.
