Whether you&#8217;re sending a job application or following up with a client, mastering the rules of professional French emails is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover the French expressions you need to know for your professional email exchanges!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential Expressions for Starting a Professional Email<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A professional email in French always begins with an appropriate greeting. Your choice depends on the relationship you have with the recipient. If you&#8217;re close to a colleague, you can use a more casual tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For a work colleague you&#8217;re on familiar terms with: &#8220;Bonjour (first name)&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a client: &#8220;Bonjour Monsieur (last name)&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For an unknown recipient: &#8220;Madame, Monsieur&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a director: &#8220;Madame la Directrice \/ Monsieur le Directeur&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: &#8220;Bonjour&#8221; means &#8220;Hello\/Good morning&#8221; and is the standard professional greeting in French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Did you know?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also say &#8220;Bonjour (first name)&#8221; to a director, but this depends on the company culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Write the Body of a Professional Email Effectively<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to a successful email body is to get straight to the point from the first paragraph:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Je me permets de vous contacter au sujet de&#8230;&#8221; (I am writing to you regarding&#8230;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Je reviens vers vous concernant&#8230;&#8221; (I&#8217;m getting back to you about&#8230;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Je vous serais reconnaissant(e) de bien vouloir&#8230;&#8221; (I would be grateful if you could&#8230;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Comme convenu lors de notre r\u00e9union Zoom,&#8230;&#8221; (As agreed during our Zoom meeting&#8230;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Suite \u00e0 notre conversation t\u00e9l\u00e9phonique&#8230;&#8221; (Following our phone conversation\u2026)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Did you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to structure your text in short, well-spaced paragraphs. A good professional email should not exceed four paragraphs, or it risks being too heavy to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential Expressions for Concluding a Professional Email<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like with the opening greeting, it&#8217;s essential to write a closing formula that&#8217;s appropriate for your recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a casual context, you can use these expressions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Bien \u00e0 toi \/ Bien \u00e0 vous&#8221; (Best regards)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Excellente journ\u00e9e&#8221; (Have a great day)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Cordialement&#8221; (Kind regards)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a more formal context, you can use these phrases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Je vous prie de croire, Madame, Monsieur, \u00e0 ma consid\u00e9ration distingu\u00e9e&#8221; (Please accept, Madam\/Sir, my distinguished consideration)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Je vous prie d&#8217;agr\u00e9er, Madame, Monsieur, l&#8217;expression de mes salutations distingu\u00e9es&#8221; (Please accept, Madam\/Sir, the expression of my distinguished greetings)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Veuillez recevoir, Madame la Directrice, l&#8217;assurance de ma consid\u00e9ration distingu\u00e9e&#8221; (Please receive, Madam Director, the assurance of my distinguished consideration)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to specify the subject line of your email. It should not exceed 5 to 8 words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to include your signature at the end of your electronic message &#8211; at minimum your full name, or just your first name if it&#8217;s someone close to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing Attachments Professionally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re sending a document to your recipient, it&#8217;s important to mention it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Ci-joint, les plannings des semaines \u00e0 venir&#8221; (Attached, the schedules for the coming weeks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Recevez ci-joint (ou ci-jointes), les pi\u00e8ces demand\u00e9es&#8221; (Please find attached the requested documents)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Recevez les pi\u00e8ces ci-jointes&#8221; (Please find the attached documents)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to the spelling rules for &#8220;ci-joint.&#8221; At the beginning of a sentence, it&#8217;s always invariable. Before the noun it refers to, it may or may not agree (your choice). Placed after the noun, it agrees with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to write a clear and descriptive file name and make sure you&#8217;re sending the right document!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">French Professional Emails: Mistakes to Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When writing a professional email in French, 3 mistakes must be avoided at all costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Forgetting to proofread your email<\/strong>: If you don&#8217;t reread your message, you risk forgetting to send a document, or worse, leaving spelling and grammar mistakes! French speakers are very strict about spelling. This can make a bad impression.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using casual language or slang<\/strong>: Don&#8217;t use informal expressions and especially not the pronoun &#8220;tu,&#8221; unless your recipient is someone close to you. French people use formal language in professional correspondence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adding emojis<\/strong>: Emojis have no place in professional emails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You now have all the tools you need to write a good professional email in French.
