I don’t have a template because I don’t email mods often but I have sent some.

First, Yuletide mods said on the admin post when assignments went out to include your assignment link when asking questions about your assignment, and to not ask about locked/placeholder letters until at least October 29.

When asking questions if it’s a general thing/could apply to multiple fandoms you could keep it general. Though if they requested like 6-8 fandoms and you’re like "I really need an answer regarding the fandom we matched on" I wouldn’t say that so directly but I would say for example "How does the major character death dnw apply to canon deaths? Particularly for (this canon)". If it’s a fandom-specific question that can’t be made more general I’d just ask directly and embrace the fact that the mods make up decoy questions.

It’s nice to say hi and I always sign it with my username but like I don’t think that’s required (especially when they have a link to your assignment so like they know who you are from that).

Mods will reply to confirm they passed your question along and will send you another email with the recip’s response if they get one.

Speaking from a general admin perspective, including your name within the text of the email is always wonderful for when someone's searching email later.
