Stash these templates away and use them to make your email process easier and faster. Customize and build on them as you figure out what works. Develop your own templates for situations you encounter often. Just make sure any email you write is short, clear, and well-formatted. If you use a CRM like Zoho or Salesforce, you can even set up automation rules so that these emails go out automatically when certain triggers are activated. See? Email is a beautiful thing!
