Best practices

Personalise the first sentence

A first name, a shared memory or a specific detail turns a generic message into genuine attention. Keep the rest short: two lines are enough.

Send at the right time

Morning is ideal: the message is read before the day takes over. If you're late, own it with humour rather than a long apology.
