Bad and good e-mail messages

Bad E-mail Instruations

E-mail is shallow way to communicate. It is easy, fast and lacks the depth of understanding most people have to face to face. These are some bad habits and start driving coworkers, bosses and friends crazy.

1.       Hanging question

2.       Buried request

3.       Wrong medium

4.       Trying to be clever

5.       Sending Urgent request the mail

6.       Bulky paragraph
Playing email tags
Do you know what else we have follow inorder to improve our E-mail message?
  • Use proper granner and spelling
  • schedule reply to email
  • determine to whom you should reply
  • Think twice before replying to just say thankyou.
  • Edit long emails when replying to them
  • End your email politely
  • Sign your name
  • Thimk before you  send 
5.Be careful using abbreviations and emoticons. This may be acceptable in an informal e-mail such as with a friend. However, in a formal letter you wouldn't have to tell someone that you're "laughing out loud," people may find it inappropriate, and could feel you are being frivolous.

Add caption

4.Avoid fancy formatting.
Changing fonts and colors, inserting bullet lists, or using HTML can make an email look bizarre or render it unreadable for the recipient, even if the formatting looks fine on your computer. Keep it simple.

3.Be consistent.
Some formats use skipped lines rather than indents for new paragraphs. Some use double space between sentences. Choose either to spell out your numbers or use digits—do not alternate between them in the same email. If a word or notation is capitalized in one case, it should be so in all cases.
2.Make the subject line useful.
I think we have to follow the subject line useful. A good subject line provides a useful summary of the email's content, preparing the reader quickly. Email inboxes are frequently swamped, so a good subject line helps the recipient determine the priority of your email. It also helps to prevent your email from being deleted before it has even been read. Since the subject is the first thing your recipient sees, keep it error free, concise, and avoid generic lines such as "Hi," "What's up," or the recipient's name (the latter may be blocked by anti-spam filters).
