More work email questions
1. How do you start emails? Dear Lucille, Hi Lucille, Lucille? Something else? If it depends on the situation/person, do you have any general rules or guidelines you use?2. Something I always struggle with is following up on things when second requesting something. I always want to start "I just wanted to..." and then say whatever it is, but I hate how passive that sounds. Do you guys have any situations like this you run into and have anything better you use?3. What is your email signature?
Re: More work email questions
1. If it's someone I'm friendly with, it's usually Hey/Hi Lucille. If it's an external vendor or someone in a higher position, it's usually Dear Lucille.
2. I usually just forward the original email if there is one and say something along the lines of "we had discussed a timeline of __ for the completion of ___. Can you please give me an update on this?"
3. Ours is institutionally mandated.. Name / position / site / bulding & rm # / street address / phone / fax
1. I generally start emails with 'Hi soandso,' or no salutation at all.
2. If I'm second requesting something, I'm more direct and say something like, 'Have you had a chance to review this yet?' or 'Can you give me a timeframe for when to expect this?'
3. My email sig is:
Full Name
Title
Address
Phone
Fax
Queue Phone
Queue Email
Body of email (All work related emails are going to be to other employees, I don't correspond with members.)
2) Not something I deal with normally but how about "This is to follow up on XYZ..."
3) My Name & Employee Number
My Title
My Depatment
My Phone Number and Extension
1) Hi Lucille
2) I typically just say "Good morning! Just wanted to follow up on X as I haven't heard from you. Thanks!" Sometimes its more in-depth, but I try to keep it simple & always forward my previous request below.

1. Hi Lucille
2. I forward the original request and usually say something like "Can you please advise on the status of the below request?"
3. Company standard... name, title, phone, fax, address, email, disclaimer
1. Hi Lucille.
2. I ask for a status update with the original request attached. If it's my first attempt, I'll usually say "I'm just following up..."
3. Full name, company name, phone number, website. If I'm sending something a little more important than my every day (like to the dept. of revenue or something)...I'll add my offiical title. So they know they're dealing w/ a decision maker.
I always forward the first request with the second request too. I'm trying to get rid of "just" because it just sounds hesitant. I like some of your suggestions!
1. Hi Lucille
2. If I am following up, I always ask for a time frame.
3. Name?Title? Company ?desk phone number?pager ?email
1. If it's someone I work with a lot, it's "Hey Lucille" or "Hi Lucille" If it needs to be more professional, I start a lot of mine with "Good Afternoon" or "Good Morning"
2. I'm bad about using the "Just wanted to follow up on the below. Thanks" I think a better way is "Please advise on the status of the..."
3. Name

If it's a friend I usually don't put a name. In other cases it's usually Hi Lucille.
If i'm following up I'll say something along the lines of "Hey, I wanted to follow up with xxx and see where we stand/what is going on/what the next step is"
