I’m a bit lost here. Should I use british conventions? US conventions? Is there indian conventions? Or maybe cultural points I should be aware of?

Google is confusing me more than it is helping me?

Thanks.

    If you have a choice of conventions, ie you know how to implement these three kinds of English, then my recommendation would be to adopt the style of the audience of the email.

    If the guy is British, use British English. If he’s Indian, use Indian English. If he’s American, use American English. When able, it’s simply polite to use language best suited for understanding by your audience.
