"email" is often used for the notion of electronic mail as a service.
However, I thought the original message asked for a term for a
particular electronic letter.

Ever since electronic mail started on the ARPANET, such electronic
letters have been called "messages".  It's too bad this isn't a
new word, but it's pretty standard now.
