Formal Message template and format

A formal message follows a predictable format, and once you know the sections you never have to think about layout again. Here is the standard structure with a copy-paste template, plus a tool to fill it in from your own notes.

How to use this template

A formal message has three jobs: greeting, point, close. If your draft needs more than the placeholders below, it is probably an email, switch formats rather than stretching the message.

Example

A reusable structure for any formal message.
Result
Good [morning/afternoon], [Name or team]. [The update, request, or information in one or two sentences]. [Any action required and its deadline]. Thank you.
