¿Cómo puedo comenzar un e-mail sin repetir sieeeempre lo mismo?

Si, ya te ha pasado seguramente… vas a escribir un e-mail y sientes que no sales de las mismas frases de siempre (Dear Paul, I’m writing to ask you … etc).

Son tantas las opciones que puedes usar que para decir verdad, se me complica poder organizarlas en un solo post, pero bueno, aquí va mi intento, espero te sea de utilidad!!!

📌  SALUDAR A UNA PERSONA EN PARTICULAR:

Dear Mr/ Ms/ + Surname 

NOTA: Usamos actualmente ‘Ms’ para dirigirnos a mujeres, se ha dejado de usar ‘Mrs’ o ‘Miss’ ya que estos últimos refieren al estado civil de la mujer, ‘señora’ o ‘señorita’ (… hasta escribiendo esto me parece raro, jaja. Si quieres conocer más sobre este tema te dejo un artículo muy interesante .

  Hi + Name

Hello again!

(Hasta aquí no hay muchas variantes, pero veamos un poco más…)

📌  SALUDAR A VARIAS PERSONAS:

Dear all,

Hi everyone,

Hi guys/ Hi guys and gals (‘guys’ se refiere a chicos y ‘gals’ a chicas, aunque es habitual usar ‘guys’ en modo genérico para referirnos a ambos sexos)

Ahora sí, busca lápiz y papel o ‘CTRL+C’ para las frases que vienen a continuación 😉
