E-mail Etiquette

Sending e-mail that's looks good is a reflection on your professionalism. An e-mail that is properly written not only makes you look good, but is easier for your recipients to read, winning you lots of points with them.

Finally, if you send an e-mail that looks good, you look like you know your way around the computer and the Internet.

Etiquette Guide

1. PLEASE DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS. IT'S HARD TO READ AND IS THE
EQUIVALENT TO SHOUTING.

2. use punctuation its hard to read stuff that doesnt have any commas
capital letters periods or apostrophes

3. Usee yur spall chacker. Its annyang to try to reede constent spalling
misstakes.

4. When forwarding an e-mail to someone, copy and paste what you want to
send into a new e-mail then send it off. This is especially true if you
had to dig through tons of "layers" to actually get to the message of
the e-mail.

5. Avoid embedding sounds and "stationary" in your messages. You may
think they're "cute" but they take longer to download and can be
annoying to your recipient. Additionally, when your recipient responds
to your e-mail, they may have to re-format their text (especially color)
in order for it to be readable.

6. Re-read your e-mail message before you send it out. I don't know how
many times I thought I had everything just right then found something
that was way out of place when I re-read the document.

7. Finally, don't use short hand. Stuff like "r u going to stp by ltr"
can be hard to read. Don't be lazy, type the whole word.

Well, I guess that's about it. I know that I occasionally have an e-mail
transgression (I think we all do), but maybe these guidelines will help
everyone communicate a little better.
