What can I write instead of I am writing to you?

How do you say I am writing in an email?

Make your purpose clear early on in the email, and then move into the main text of your email. Remember, people want to read emails quickly, so keep your sentences short and clear.
Should you always begin a business letter with the phrase I am writing to?
For that reason, I wouldn’t usually recommend that you start an email or letter with ‘I am writing’, any more than I would recommend starting a phone call with ‘I am calling’. Both are self-evident and therefore a waste of ink/breath.

One way to avoid overusing “I” is to consider how you phrase your sentences. For example, if you are writing sentences that begin with, “I think that…,” simply omit the part about you and make the statement by itself.

beloved,
Is it correct to say “I am writing this to you”?
You can say “I am writing you this,” and you can say “I am writing this to you.” (Notice that, in the second version, “to you” comes after “this”.) “I am writing to you this” is understandable, but wrong. It’s not something a native speaker would ever say. What’s going on here?
What is the difference between to and I am writing something?
TO somebody or with a purpose (to complain), versus I am writing something (a letter): the verb has an object that doesn’t require “to”; I am writing you a letter. -> thanks. Caroline Moreno: As an American, I would only ever use the second. For example, you could write, “I am writing you to let you know that I am planning to visit Chicago soon.”
Is it correct to say I’m writing you to let you know?
“I’m writing you to let you know” isn’t something I would use. “I am writing you” means “I am writing the word you “. I doubt if Americans would even use that since the first you is redundant anyway. However, American’s do use “I’ll write you” informally, whereas in the UK it would always be “I’ll write to you”.

For that reason, I wouldn’t usually recommend that you start an email or letter with ‘I am writing’, any more than I would recommend starting a phone call with ‘I am calling’. Both are self-evident and therefore a waste of ink/breath.
