In Business Emails relaxed kind of nature of our writings affects the importance of your words.
1 – It’s not a high priority
When you are writing an email to your Superior or to your co-workers or to somebody who is in another organization, and you start your mail saying that, “It’s not too important, but I request you to get quickly into this matter.” Here one thing needs to clarify that every person is capable of deciding for himself or herself on what priority a specific task is. Writing such kind of lines reflects your unprofessional etiquette in Email writing.
If you want to mention priority of task at that time, you can write at the end by saying, “looking forward to you as soon as a possible response, thank you.”
2 – I Think You’re probably too busy
Another statement that cannot be featured in your business emails is, “I think you’re probably too busy but…”
Here, there is no need to brand someone as too busy or too free or too whatever else? You have to make sure your requirement or your task to be fulfilled.
Saying someone as too busy can come across as you being sarcastic of almost disrespectful about that person in the present scenario, which is considered very, very strict in terms of professional etiquette.

5 – This might not be applied to you
