If you caught his/her interest, that's a good opening.
More examples of OPENING statements in emails:
1. I appreciate very much the information you have given me.
2. Thank you for your quick reply
3. Thank you for taking the time to send us your email of inquiry
4. Thank you for your continued interest in the project .jpg)
Since you cannot show emotion in writing emails, it is ideal to make yourself extremely courteous. Beginning with "Dear sir" or "Greetings!" or Hello madam, Hellow sir, are good phrases to start with.
In the case of Internet Marketing of Real Estate, OPENING is usually skipped and the Property Consultant would go direct to answering inquiries or questions from interested buyers. This is so because there is no need to make an opening statement because it is presumed that the buyer has either seen your website or any advertisement you have made in classified Ads. Your opening statements would no longer be the usual that would catch attention but would just resemble a courteous letter of reply. For example: "THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR SITE AND FOR CONTACTING US"
