Email Etiquette

Exercise 29. Read a list of recommendations for e-mail writing. Do you find all of them useful?

From James Bucki, former About.com Guide/ http://operationstech.about.com/od/informationtechnology/tp/Email-Etiquette.01.htm

With almost 300 billion emails sent every day, business email etiquette must be adhered to in order to promote the efficient use of this technology in the business environment. Unfortunately, many people have abused this technology and missed the true benefit that it can bring to your business. The following business email etiquette rules can help your employees get back on track using your company's email system properly.

The first rule of good email etiquette is to avoid long winded emails that contain extraneous information and irrelevant facts. Stick to the subject being communicated and use as few words as possible. If you need a decision, ask for it. If you need information, ask for it. If you need action, ask for it. Don't make your reader wonder why you are sending this email.

Never leave the subject line of an email blank. This will help your recipients sort through their emails more efficiently and will precipitate a response to your email quicker.
