A clean bilingual sample email you can copy and adapt.
High-value business expressions for requests and follow-ups.

📌 Updated Email Opening Expressions

Avoid overly stiff phrases like 존경하는 ○○님께 in regular business mail. Use these instead:

○○님, 안녕하세요. — [Name], hello.
안녕하세요, ○○님. — Hello, [Name].
○○팀장님께 — “To Manager ○○” (for formal notices or when hierarchy matters)

These openings are polite, concise, and widely used between professionals and external partners.

🧭 Pro Tips (Style & Tone)
