Shaping The Body Of A Business E-Mail

When should I create a new paragraph in a business e-mail?

Basically when constructing a business email and you change a topic, it is best to change to a new paragraph and leave some white space. That way it separates into "Here's what I'm talking about" and then "Now I'm changing the conversation and I'm going to move to a new topic" and finally then "I'm going to change to a third topic". When it runs all together without paragraphs in your business e-mail, sometimes it is very difficult for people to separate those topics of conversation for themselves.

What is the 'white space' of a business e-mail?

White space of a business e-mail is exactly what it sounds like. It's the white space in the e-mail, meaning it's not the text in the sentence and the fonts, but rather it's the space in between the sentences and in between the letters. So, using a proper amount of white space is often helpful to make the sentences more clear. By separating sentences by 1.25 or 1.5 and thus creating a little space between them, is actually very helpful for the receiver of the business e-mail.
