YOU ARE WHAT YOU E-MAIL...

When people interact with others threw text messages or e-mails, and IM’s they tend to write as if the English language had never been invented! They use abbreviations for almost every word, and signs. Not a formal type of writing.
Although this may be an easy and faster way for you to get your message across, this could also be a bad habit
in other environments. While people write in their emails or letters they tend to convert their IM language to letters or
writings where it would be very unnecessary. Business letters for example are an inappropriate place for the writing. If you were to write like that the person whom you are writing to might not take you seriously.
There are a few tips that would help with sending a respectfully and correct form of email: when putting your subject into your subject line, make it so it will catch the reader’s attention. Put the main point of your letter in as your subject.
When some people read letters or messages they don’t read the whole message so to get your message across,
put your main subjects into the opening or beginning paragraphs of your writing.
In your writing keep it formal. If it’s a business letter stick to a business form.
When writing the letter uses proper English. Use proper spelling, grammer, punctuation, and complete sentences.
As soon as you have completed writing the message you should re read it so it sounds ok or have another person proof read it for you.
Adding a signature to the end of your letters would make it sound like you are serious about it and it would be professional. Signature could consist of your name, e-mail address, phone number, or an address.
When you receive e-mails that are important respond to them as soon as possible. If you are unsure about a response to the mail flag the e-mail so you can respond as soon as you are able to give a response.
When sending e-mails that contain many different types of subjects the best thing to do would be to send each topic as a complete new letter. That way the reader does not have a lot different subjects to read about
and they won’t miss any important details.
