How to Write an Email

An email is meant to be a quick, simple communication.

  • Don’t assume privacy
  • Why you should avoid attachments
  • Written in anger? …don’t press send …press wait!
  • Does spelling and grammar matter?
  • Distinguish between formal and informal situations
  • There’s the signature file; the cc and the bcc
  • Show restraint and respect
  • Emails cause the biggest stress in an office
