4.3.3.3 How to Write Email Reports

Follow the steps below to write an email report:

1. Introduce the topic of your report. When writing an email report, use the subject line to

introduce your report, such as writing John Doe's Progress Report for January 4, 2022. It's

helpful to use simple language that briefly explains the report's purpose to the reader using
key details.

2. Choose your report's structure. Each report you write may require an original structure, so

choose which to use before you begin. For example, many reports include a brief greeting,

body paragraphs that detail relevant information and a formal salutation at the end.

3. Write your report content. Use any information gathered for your report, including

personal testimony and research information, to write your email report's body

paragraphs. To ensure your content remains concise and includes all important details, it

may be helpful to use short sentences and simplified word choices.
