I often get emails that end with, “I hope this helps.”
I hope you hope it helps or else why did you write the email?
It would have been more helpful if we had face to face conversation. In absence of face to face, you should have called. There are rules for this. That would have helped.
Another email generally isn’t helpful, your hopefulness isn’t helpful.
Let’s talk about communication. If we must send an email, we’re going to be sure it helps. We only email when we have to and we know it will be an effective way to communicate.
Maybe you can start ending our emails with, “I know this helps.”
I know this helps,
