AB - In this study, the analysis subjects were E-mails that only Japanese people wrote among those between Korean and Japanese who were working in the iron and steel industry such as automobiles. Those E-mail data were prepared from 2015 to 2017, which was totally 532 E-mails.　Recipients and senders could be inferred not to affect the progression of conversation significantly whether the relations were internal or external in case of the established business relationship. To consider others, it strongly tended to mention the formalized greeting expression simple. The progression structure of E-mail conversation was reviewed by whether the sender and recipient’s mentioning were present, and whether the consideration strategy to the others before and after suggestion of main topics was present. Upon the results, the structure of ‘recipient-greeting-main topic-closing’ was dominant with 47.4% followed by ‘recipient-greeting-main topic’ with 21.6% which was ended with explanation of main topic without closing. Over 10% E-mail showed simple delivery of main topic. With respect to the initiation level strategy, firstly, formalized greeting expressions and its types were reviewed for consideration of others at the opening and closing parts of E-mail. In the opening part, 70% of total E-mails used formalized greeting expression with 9 different types. In the closing part, 54% used closing greeting. They were classified as ‘maintaining relationship,’ ‘related to main topic,’ and ‘consideration of others’.
