FYA stands for For your action, an email and office abbreviation.

Signals that the recipient is expected to do something with the information, distinguishing the message from a mere FYI. It appears in subject lines and forwarded emails.

Example: FYA: please approve the attached purchase order by Wednesday so procurement can proceed.

Usage notes

Some teams also expand FYA as "for your approval" or "for your attention," so stating the specific action expected is wise. Paired with FYI, it helps recipients triage a crowded inbox quickly. It is far less familiar than FYI, particularly in North America.
