We’ve created a one-stop shop for you when it comes to email starters. Ever sit down at your computer when you need to write a thank you email or a follow-up and just do not know where to start?! We’ve all been there. No need to search Google for templates - we did some of the leg work for you.

Our Built By Girls staff has compiled a few guides to craft stand out emails and some best practices.

These are great suggestions on how to get unstuck! Remember these are just guidelines, thought starters. Put each email in your own words to ensure your own personality and voice is heard by the reader.

And don’t forget about your subject lines, they can be just as important. You want them to grab the recipient's attention without being cheesy or distracting.

You want to make a good impression and we know you will. So also remember to check your grammar and spelling, make sure you are sending the email by name, be thoughtful about asking for time and follow-ups, and if you are responding to an email don’t delay.

You got this! You’re already past the first step of sitting at your computer and thinking about what to say and how to convey your message. Happy writing! 🖊️
