This L seems fun.
i think i have much more trouble in written engligh than in spoken.
one of my routine work is communicating with mgrs from all functions within the company via email. and i'm always in trouble of how to write an email to discuss some tough issues with soft tones that the reader might not feel aggressive or been ordered, which is?exactly what?i'm doing...
also english major...huge pressure

I am a business major student in U.S. Here we have a class called Business Communication, which includes business writing (e-mail, memo, formal report, thank you letter..), oral communication and grammar. I think this course is specifically aimed at your problem.
If you have time you may look for some similar courses in your city..
Good luck. As you practice more, I believe you will?make?progress?soon.

I think it's great idea to read others' e-mails if they are?proper enough to be an example. When we take Business Communication courses, all of my classmates wrote assignments by referring to the examples on the book more or less.
Don't worry. read others' emails and get what you think is right and proper for you, it's the right way to learn.

I'm?a new person of?an international law firm,all of the original tele,email and documents are in English,so I always be?fear of communicating with colleagues.
Last month our team came a foregin colleague,I encouraged myself to talk?with?him more and more to practice my spoken English.
Deeply i feel sorry to him because he is just a language learning tool for me while he?seem so willing to talk with me
finally,however,he talk with me only in Chinese!never use other language!even if I start my dialogue in English,he ignore me?and reply in Chinese...
I am the tool at all....fivefivefive..

========================================
really appreciate your suggestion
i need this kind of lesson seriously
just been judged that my email looks too aggressive, god knows my deep heart is as soft as a mild sheep...
53L, may you suggest the sentence: "as xxx, pls do xxx", "according to xxx, please do xxx" seems aggresive? how can i improve to soften the tone?

BTW, this?post is so harmonious. I like this atomesphere.
But I'm weak at spelling. I can't? type without the help of dictionary.
