Here are some tips to help support the K-State Research and Extension brand in email messages:

• Use the tips outlined in the section on writing. Good writing in email reinforces our ability to provide consistent quality.
   
• Use good grammar and punctuation. Don’t abbreviate unnecessarily, or use non-traditional language (such as text-messaging).
   
• Include a greeting and closing that reflects respect. Here's some examples:
   
  Formal greetings
  Dear <NAME>
  To Whom It May Concern
  
  Less formal
  Good morning (afternoon, evening)
  Hello <NAME>
  
  Formal closings
  Sincerely
  Regards
  
  Less formal
  Thank you
  Have a good day
  See you tomorrow
   
• Include your full name and title, and contact information.
