What's the polite to ask questions to the employer by email? Can anyone give me a feedback? Thanks! I just received a job offer from a company, and want to email the employer to confirm the office address and the first day of arrangement (meeting location and time, what I need to bring, dress code, etc). How to write this email properly? And should I use "Dear Dr. XXX", or is it too formal because he is the person who interviewed me? Here's a draft, and please feel free to give feedback or edit it. Thank you in advance! :) Dear Dr. XXX, It was great speaking with you in the interview. I have some inquiries: - Can you confirm the detailed address of the office? [I asked this because I was interviewed at the doctor's office.] - What is my work schedule? - What is the dress code for my job? Is there a uniform involved, a certain color of pants or top to wear, specific shoes, or business smart-casual? - Is there any other information that I need to provide, such as my social insurance number? Sincerely, XXX

I understand it fine, so these are all just small things "I have a few questions" sounds more natural than "inquiries", you don't always have to use the less common word to sound more formal (although certain types of middle-management people love this stuff, others (like my high school English teacher) are bothered by it. Since you're a non-native speaker, no one will care either way, but "questions" does sound better. "Confirm" implies you already have the address, and you should put it in the email like "Can you confirm that the address of the office is XXX?" If you don't actually have it just ask "Could you tell me the exact address of the office?" Dear Dr. X is fine for something like this.
