10 A. Anatomy of the professional email

1. To / Cc / Bcc: To = actor; Cc = information only (restrain — nobody loves reply-all storms); Bcc for mass mailing only.2. Subject line = the message's headline: specific + actionable: ~~"Query"~~ → "Draftlease — clause 6 revision needed by Friday, 5 p.m."3. Salutation: formal-neutral: "Dear Mr. Karki," / "Dear Sir or Madam," (unknown); Nepali professional messages often open "Namaste" or "Respected Sir" — in English, "Dear" + surname is the safe standard.4. First line = the point (BLUF): "I am writing to request a two-day extension for filing the reply in the Tamang case."5. Body: minimum context; numbered points for multiple items ("1. … 2. …"); one ask per email where possible.6. The ask: explicit actor + action + deadline: "Could you please send the signed voucherby Thursday noon?"7. Close: "Thank you / I look forward to your reply. Best regards, [name], [designation, firm, phone]".8. Attachments: name files professionally ("Tamang_reply_draft_v3.docx"), mention them in the text ("Attached: draft reply, marked changes"), never send unmentioned attachments to courts/opposing counsel by reflex — check what is appropriate.
