The email message thanks a familiar and respected person |

---|---|---|
Did he write a clear subject? |
✘ |
There is no subject. |
Did he follow standard message format, including paragraphs and spacing? |
✘ |
Not at all. There is some indenting, and each sentence starts on a new line. The text looks like a list, not a paragraph. |
Did he match the greeting and closing to his relationship with his reader? |
✘ |
Not at all. The greeting is too formal and too impersonal for writing to his mother. The closing is also formal and too detailed. |
Did he write a message with a clear purpose and some details about what happened and how he felt? |
✘ |
Not at all. There seems to be too many reasons and details. He’s gone a bit overboard. Is Roshan sincere or is he joking around? The details made things a bit confusing. |
The email message thanks a familiar and respected person. |
