Maeve, this was a great piece of advice. I have recently been sending out queries by email to literary agents and thankfully I had used most of the advice given here, although I think I stuck an emoticon in one of them , thanks again.

I noticed you didn’t capitalize “Web,” nor did you hyphenate e-mail. My AP stylebook does both of those things. It also capitalizes Internet. What say you?

So, in short, treat the e-mail as if it were a formal printed letter.
