This free resource is designed for individuals with ASD and those with social communication differences. Students work through a clear, structured worksheet that breaks each email type down into its purpose, a worked example, and a guided writing activity covering three essential types of professional email.

The resource is designed to be used independently or alongside a tutor, parent, or support worker. It is available as both a printable PDF and a digital Google Doc copy, allowing students to complete it on screen or by hand.

What is covered:

• Email 1 — Job enquiry: contacting a company directly to ask about available roles
• Email 2 — Thank you after an interview: following up professionally within 24 hours of an interview
• Email 3 — Follow-up after no response: politely checking on the status of an application
• A worked example for each email type using clear, neutral language
• A professional email checklist to review before sending
• A self-reflection prompt to identify areas for further practice

• Individuals with ASD aged 16+
• Those with social communication differences
