Examples

What to avoid

• Repeating “business opportunity” as a stock phrase is a miss, so name the project, role or request instead.
• Several lines of gratitude in a row can come across as insincere.
• Promises or commitments you haven't decided on shouldn't be added just to sound grateful.
• Sending identical wording to everyone reads as a template, so adjust it to the person and the situation.
