Expressions for Spanish letters and emails.When to use formal language.We send few letters these days than in the past so that the student may feel that use of the formal Spanish language entries here are unnecessary. However, even in email correspondence, there are times when we need to write formally. - In business Spanish, emails that introduce your firm and products to another company should be formal. - Emails insisting on payment or making a complaint, formal language is imperative if the sender wants to make an impact on the recipient. Of course, if you are already writing in an informal "tú" form in Spanish, you can never revert to the formal "usted" in later correspondence. However, you can still use the structures below with the informal tú, vosotros forms. Avoid errors of number.Ensure you that the expression you choose coincides with the correct number. ie. singular or plural: Muy señores míos: .... Nos complace informarles Estimado Sr. Gómez: .... Nos complace informarle Ensure the entire letter maintains the same number throughout. In the same way, always check that you use the same formal or informal form in the same letter and that all the verbs agree accordingly. Avoid mistakes like: Estimado Sr. Gómez: .... Nos complace anunciarle.... Te envío la lista de precios que me pediste... It should read: Estimado Sr. Gómez: .... Nos complace anunciarle.... Le envío la lista de precios que me pidió...
