Hi,

Please review the below two statements that I using in my formal email communication and advice me which statement is good way of writing (“so” or “therefore”).

statement#1:

We need to confirm the testing time to users for the below activity, so we request to confirm the timing at the earliest today.

statement#2:

We need to confirm the testing time to users for the below activity, therefore we request to confirm the timing at the earliest today.

This is such an interesting subject because email is so new to society. Because email is written language and more challenging to generate the intended tone than a telephone call, I find softer indirect language works better. e.g. “You mentioned…” rather than “you said…”

I have always written my emails as conversational. They are less likely to get thrown in the trash folder and deleted.

I actually did a test between the two. My conversational emails were opened more frequently than a sale email, which alot of the top internet marketers love to do.

Your shield is just not up with a friendlier email. As people see more and more frequently that you are talking to them as a “person”, not a “prospect”, you have gained their attention. And in the future, a response and a sale.

I don’t know any other way to reach you to let you know that I have been unable to open your latest email. Something seems to be wrong with just the email since I am able to reach your web site.
