IvanKaramazov 21,308 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 For some reason, I'm noticing a big uptick in emails that begin with "I hope this email finds you well." If this came from a complete stranger, I would write it off as an awkward attempt at a neutral/professional-sounding salutation, but these are people who I've worked with for years. What's wrong with "Good morning, Ivan" or "Hi, Dr. Karamazov" or something like that? So strange to see people use "I hope this email finds you well" unironically. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
