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.
How should I space my paragraphs in a business e-mail?
You should definitely space the paragraphs in your business e-mail as white space can be very pleasant for a receiver. Instead of trying to fill everything in, you can actually auto-set or pre-set your business e-mail to construct an e-mail with a little space between the sentence lines from anywhere between 1 or 1.25 or 1.5. I'd recommend using somewhere between 1.25 to 1.5 as it's just a little more pleasing on the eye to see that white space within your business e-mail when spacing your paragraphs.
