As would be expected, this email had additional paragraphs: one that discussed the author’s course work, another which discussed her extracurricular activities, and a final paragraph that provided a conclusion.

In some correspondence, you would do better to place a sentence or two of background information before the sentence that states the purpose of the correspondence. Nonetheless, you should state the purpose in the first paragraph. For example, consider the subject line and first paragraph of the following email [3], which was written by a graduate student to her research advisors: Subject: Possible Seed Particle for LDV Measurements in the Wind Tunnel

As you know, for the past six months, we have been unable to make simultaneous Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) and hot-wire measurements of velocity in the wind tunnel because our LDV seed has contaminated the hot wire. Titanium dioxide, the seed particle that we use, changes the hot-wire measurement of velocity by as much as 17 percent over a 40-minute period. This email presents the results of my search to find a LDV seed particle that does not contaminate the hot wire [3].
