Acknowledging your email
You're referring to acknowledging an email!
Acknowledging an email is a professional courtesy that shows you've received and reviewed the message. Here are a few ways to acknowledge an email:
- Simple reply: Respond with a brief message, such as:
"Hi [Name], thanks for reaching out. I've received your email and will get back to you soon."
- Summary reply: Summarize the main points of the email and let the sender know you're working on a response:
"Hi [Name], thanks for your email. I understand that [briefly summarize the main points]. I'll get back to you with a more detailed response by [specific date or timeframe]."
- Action-oriented reply: If you need to take action on the email, let the sender know what you'll do and by when:
"Hi [Name], thanks for your email. I'll [specific action] by [specific date or timeframe]. I'll keep you updated on my progress."
- No-action reply: If you don't need to take any action, a simple acknowledgement is still appreciated:
"Hi [Name], thanks for your email. I've received your message and will keep it in mind."
Remember to always proofread your response for spelling, grammar, and tone before sending it.
