A good greeting up front for a business e-mail is usually very brief, but warm. Some of us tend to be a little bit too verbose and want to put too much into a greeting. But a nice cordial way to enter a business e-mail is something like "Hey team, great seeing everyone last week" or "Hi! It was great seeing you at the meeting last Tuesday", and then begin your message. Not putting too much up front into a greeting for your business e-mail gets people right into the action of the e-mail that you're sending to them.
