Sorry, I do not understand what means "re".
Please use an uppercase at the beginning of each sentence and
a dot at the end. It helps reading.

"re" is commonly used in the English language and means "in reference to" or "about"
but I'm happy to change to "about" which is the more conventional word.
There's an interesting explanation of the evolution of the term here:
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/re
Usage
The traditional view is that re should be used in headings and references, as in Re: Ainsworth versus Chambers, but not as a normal word meaning 'about', as in I saw the deputy head re the incident. However, the evidence suggests that re is now widely used in the second context in official and semi-official contexts, and is now generally accepted. It is hard to see any compelling logical argument against using it as an ordinary English word in this way

Ok.  
I was confusing this with the style needed for the email subject, which is the opposite!

Thanks for the detailed explanations, and sorry again for my ignorance :)
