Essential Structure of an Email in Spanish

Writing an email for the IGCSE Spanish Exam requires understanding of both format and language. Here’s a simple breakdown to guide you:

1. Saludo (Greeting): Start with a polite greeting appropriate to the formality of the email.

• Formal: "Estimado/a [name]," (Dear [name],)

• Informal: "Hola [name]," (Hello [name],)

1. Introducción (Introduction): Briefly introduce the purpose of your email.

• "Le escribo para..." (I am writing to...)

• "Quisiera informarle sobre..." (I would like to inform you about...)

1. Cuerpo (Body): This is where you detail your main points. Structure your content clearly and logically.

• Use paragraphs to separate different ideas or requests.

• Include supporting details as necessary.

1. Conclusión (Conclusion): Wrap up your email by summarizing your points or expressing what action you hope the recipient will take.

• "Espero su respuesta." (I look forward to your response.)

• "Gracias por su atención." (Thank you for your attention.)

1. Despedida (Closing): End with a polite closing.

• Formal: "Atentamente," (Yours sincerely,)

• Informal: "Un saludo," (Best regards,)

1. Firma (Signature): Sign off with your name.
