Yes, something like this. ;)

I've never received an email like this.I am just a university student.I don't have to do something like people in a produce do.

Yes, thanks for sharing. ;)

I do.

I sometimes receive e-mails like this one, to confirm an appointment :) Thanks for tips!

oh i never received an email like that before on my life but really i wish to learn English for that reason to apply to many companies

This is one of the main reasons, I am learning on this website to improve my writing skills. I have a C1 level on speaking and I have to write business emails on a daily bases.

I received emails like these ones last time I changed my job. I remember I needed to align time and place and since the company who was interviewing me was in a different country we scheduled many conference calls by Skype.

No, I don't receive like this email because people in my country don't use the email widely.

no , i don't
