If sending via email, use a clear subject line like 'Appointment Request: [Your Name] - [Purpose]'. For formal occasions, print on letterhead and sign by hand.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

One common mistake is being too vague about the purpose of the meeting, which can lead to the recipient declining or ignoring the request.

Also, don't forget to include your contact information or to proofread for typos, which can appear unprofessional.
