Better ways to say thank you
Make your thanks specific, and it will mean more.
“Thanks.”
“Thanks so much, that really helped.”
Sounding less formal (without sounding careless)
Write like a person, not a policy document.
“Please be advised that the meeting has been rescheduled.”
“Heads up, the meeting moved to Thursday.”
Better ways to say sorry

“Sorry for the late reply.”
“Thanks for your patience, here's the update.”
