Alerts

Alerts go at the very top of your email, even above your email's header. They are intended to be used very little, and only in situations where the user truly needs to be alerted of something important. There are three versions of alerts, and the alerts are the same for both formal and informal styles.

**Alert - Danger**: for true emergency situations. Don't use outside an emergency.

**Alert - Information**: for situations when you need to issue a correction, or there is some other critical piece of information that the recipient cannot miss.

**Alert - Warning**: a middle ground between Information and Warning. Not for true emergencies but otherwise critical information for the recipient.
