Good E-mail tips

 

No matter to whom you are writing; follow the basics of e-mail etiquette. By doing so, you will look professional while being perceived as an intelligent person.

-          Make sure your e-mail opens with a pleasant greeting and a nice closing. A few additional  “please” and “thank you” go a long way.

-          Address your contact with appropriate level of formality and double-check if you spelled their name correctly.

-          Spell check – e-mails with typos are not taken as serious.

-          Be specific and avoid writing info which is to general

-          Remember about proper structure. First word should be capitalized and appropriate punctuation applied throughout. !!! or ??? are perceived as rude or condescending.

-          If at a moment of writing you feel emotionally charged, step away from a computer and try to calm down before proceeding.

-          Refrain of using the Reply to All feature, rather make it more personal.
