Some tips for writing a professional introductory email:

- Open with a salutation such as "Dear colleagues"

- Introduce yourself in one sentence. For this assignment, you only need to share your first name, and that you are the consultant hired to help draft the company's strategic plan.

- Follow the the instructions on the assignment (e.g. using complete sentences and full paragraphs). Use relatively formal language, like you would with any professional colleagues who are senior to you whom you are writing to for the first time. Use correct grammar.

- You do not need to close the email for this assignment, but if you want to, you can include a closing statement such as "I look forward to meeting you in person" or "I look forward to drafting a strong strategic plan with you," and then any formal email closing such as "Sincerely, [name]."
