Write a greeting that catches the recipient's attention, rather than just starting with "Hello." The first sentence in an email says a lot about someone, and greetings that ask a question or make a fun statement come across as friendly.
-
2
Talk about a few things that are currently happening in your life. This may include your job, your family, your friends and your hobbies. Make the information sound like it's something that you enjoy, instead of something that you are unhappy with. This will make you sound like you have a zest for life, a quality that many people look for in a potential partner.

Ask plenty of questions about the person that you are emailing. This will give the recipient reason to reply and keep the conversation moving. Questions show others that you are not self-centered or arrogant, and that you're interested in learning.
-
4
Attach a recent picture of yourself to the end of your email. Many people on singles websites prefer not to email individuals without a photo, so including a picture helps increase the chances that you will receive a response.

5
Sign the email with your first name and let the other person know that you are looking forward to hearing a response. Keep a positive, friendly tone throughout your email to present yourself as a kind, caring person.

Tips & Warnings
Avoid coming across as too cheesy in your email by avoiding pickup lines and the overuse of compliments. Singles are more likely to respond to people who come across as genuine and kind, not cheesy and desperate.
Allow the other person plenty of time to get back to you. Do not harass her with multiple emails if she doesn't respond. She may not be interested; if that is the case, send out new emails to different people and move on.
Never give out personal details, such as your address, bank account information or email passwords through dating sites. Leave out any details that will allow people to easily locate your home or work location.
