Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces ‘mandar’ is the go‑to verb for email, but ‘enviar’ sounds a bit more formal and is preferred in official communications. If you want to avoid ambiguity, say ‘correo electrónico’. Also, remember that the contraction ‘al’ is mandatory; writing ‘a el equipo’ is considered incorrect.
