  1. Ending your email with this sentence formally offers your help to business clients. You might send this email as a reminder that you’re available for assistance after providing something to your customer.[2]
    • If you’re emailing an invoice to a client, you might say, “Please find attached your invoice for our marketing services. The invoice is due next week and you can pay online or over the phone. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.”
  2. When you’re explaining the services you offer to a customer, or providing a project update to your boss, you might send “Please reach out if you need any further clarification.” This is a polite way to let them know you’re happy to explain anything that might not make sense to them.
    • For instance, you might tell your boss, “Leo is unavailable to help out with the project because he is teaching full-time this semester. I’ll contact our other colleagues this afternoon to see who can take his place. Please reach out if you need any further clarification about this issue.”
  3. Sending this polite phrase shows your customer or colleague that you are open and available to answer their questions at any time. This helps build your professional relationship and makes them feel like they can count on you for help.[3]
    • For example, you might answer a coworker's question by saying, “Hi Raven, I did make some adjustments to this semester’s syllabus. The dean asked that we include a few more reading assignments to expand the scope of the class. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions.”
  4. If you have a more casual, established business relationship with someone, emailing them “I’m happy to provide any additional information if needed” says you’ve got their back. This warm message makes it clear to them that you’re eager to answer any concerns and provide any clarification they need.
    • If you’re messaging an update to your boss, say, “I’ve attached the report on this month’s earnings. As you can see, we’re lower than usual this month. This is due to a shipping error and I’m already working with our manufacturer to problem solve. I hope this makes sense. I’m happy to provide any additional information if needed.”
  5. If you’re messaging a client who has a lot of questions for you, ending your email with this line communicates that you are still available and receptive to answering more queries and concerns. This helps build trust with your customer and let them know that no amount of questions are too much.[4]
    • If you’re explaining your return policy to a client, you might say, “We accept returns made within 30 days after you receive your garment. I hope this helps clear everything up. Please feel free to ask me any additional questions you may have.”
  6. When you’re sending an invoice to a customer or going over the agenda for a team meeting, you might not be able to explain every last detail in your email. Adding “If you need any further clarification, please feel free to ask me” as the final sentence in your message politely lets your recipients know they can come to you to get the clarity they need.
    • For instance, you might email your coworkers, “Friendly reminder that our team meeting is this Wednesday at 10. I’ve attached the proposed agenda. If you need any further clarification about what we’re discussing this week, please feel free to ask me.”
  7. If you’re emailing a client or colleague for the first time, this phrase lays the groundwork for a positive relationship. It helps show your recipient that you are willing to help them in any way you can.
    • For example, you might email a new client, “Dear Ms. Wilson, My name is Jonah Adams and I am your new account manager at ABC Marketing. I read over your file and I am excited to work with you and grow your business. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.”
  8. Being warm and approachable to the person you’re emailing helps you come across as helpful, understanding, and competent at your job. If you’re dealing with a customer who is unsure about their invoice or the products you’re offering them, this communicates that you’re willing to clear up any confusion and uncertainty for them.[5]
    • For example, email your client, “Hello Mr. Miller, I am emailing you to let you know that your order has been processed and shipped. Attached is the shipment tracking link; please expect your order to arrive in 1-2 business days. Should you have any concerns with your order, kindly let me know.”
  9. When you’re in regular correspondence with a client, colleague, or coworker, this is a general but polite offer to help them out. They might not need anything specific or have any questions at this time, but this lets them know you’re there to give them answers.
    • If you’re checking in with a coworker, you might say, “Hi Luis, I just wanted to see how your portion of the paper is going. As a reminder, the submission due date is in 2 weeks. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.”
  10. For a more casual offer to help out generally, sign off your email with “Let me know if I can be of any help.” This tells your coworker, colleague, or boss that you’re available to assist with any other tasks that they might need.[6]
    • For example, you might reply to a project update email and say, “It’s so exciting to see the positive responses from our research subjects! Let me know if I can be of any help as we finish up this project.”
  11. If you’ve already answered a lot of questions from a customer or colleague, this shows that you’re willing to help them whenever they have concerns. This formal sentence makes it clear that you’re prioritizing your client’s experience and happiness, which can smooth over any frustration or uncertainty they’re feeling.[7]
    • For instance, you might email your client, “Hello Mr. Smith, You are going to be speaking at 1:00 pm in conference room 101. The panel lasts 50 minutes and is followed by a 10-minute Q&A with refreshments. Should you have any other inquiries, please contact me any time.”
  12. When you’re closing out an invoice with a client or giving your colleague your final piece for a project, add this phrase to make sure there’s nothing more that they need from you. There might be a final question for you to answer or a task to complete, so this lets others know that you’re more than willing to help out.[8]
    • If you’re messaging your coworker, you might say, “I’ve attached the final financial report for this quarter. This is ready to go out to the whole team. Let me know if you need anything else from me.”
  13. In an email to a client, colleague, or coworker, you might give them a lot of information to go over. Ending your message with “Please let me know if I missed anything” asks them to double-check your work, but is also a polite way to communicate that you’re willing to provide any additional information that you might have left out.
    • For example, you might email your colleagues, “Hello Ms. Rodriguez, We are all ready for your stay at our wonderful hotel! We have you scheduled for check-in tomorrow at 10 am, followed by a relaxing massage in our spa. I’ve attached the rest of the itinerary we discussed on the phone last week. Please look it over and let me know if I missed anything. We are excited to see you tomorrow!”
