We live in an age of unprecedented speed.
The ever-expanding Web has brought both simplicity and complexity to our lives. Even though all of these wonders of our time were invented to make life and communication easier and faster; speed and efficiency have not come without a price.
We have to pay the price of learning and understanding how to use these new and better things optimally. To write good business emails, we have to pay the price to become good communicators via email.
Here, we will help you improve your email writing skills using business email examples.
Like you probably know,
wise people invent tricks to make them do the productive things that average people avoid.
The trick for writing great business emails is a sound understanding of what you intend to communicate; while the trick for writing impressive acceptance emails is enthusiastic interest – letting your enthusiasm shine through your writing.
In this section, we shall discuss (using examples) how to write good acceptance letters. However, let’s first consider a proper format you can follow to keep your acceptance email organized:
Basic Format for Writing Emails Accepting a Request
- Express your pleasure in accepting the offer.
- Repeat the details of what you expect: This includes meeting date and time, the amount of the bid or your contribution, precise nature of your assistance, the duties and when you agree to assume duties.
- Inquire about particular needs like receipts, directions to the place, equipment for speech, list of other organizers
- Close with an expression of pleasure to come, see the person, work for the company or any other future action
Things to Avoid in Writing Acceptance Emails in Business
Often, it is better to just say yes or no to an invitation. If you are not sure, it may be better to simply decline the invitation. It is unprofessional to say things like:
- I am busy, but I suppose I can manage to come.
- I don’t think I’m a good speaker
Let’s see some examples of business emails:

Sample 5 – Confirming a Speaking Engagement
Good morning Dr. Ronald,
I look forward to meeting you on Thursday, May 23, to further discuss the business incubation programme that was designed by the World Bank. Thursday evening is a good time for me.
Two of my associates, Jay Abraham and Robert Kiyosaki, are planning to meet with you as well. We are very excited to be a part of this project, especially being on the same team with you.
Cordially,
Bear in mind that it is good to send acceptances as soon as you can. If you fall short of time, apologise succinctly and continue with your letter. Also, acceptances should be brief and focused on the acceptance alone. Let your direct response (yes or no) be in the first line of your letter.
Your enthusiasm in this kind of emails gives more impact to the email.
