10. If you don’t put a subject line on your email, you are sending the message that your name in the “From”
line is all your recipient should need in order to make it a top priority. That could come across as arrogant,
or at the very least, thoughtless.
Take advantage of the opportunity to get your recipient thinking about your message even before opening it.
DO THIS !
Subject: “10 confirmed for Friday… will we need a larger room?“
Upon reading this revised, informative subject line, the recipient immediately starts thinking about the
size of the room, not about whether it will be worth it to open the email.
c) Make your Message clear and brief
d) Be Polite: Don’t use Jargon, Abbreviation Idioms and, Slang or informal word.
e) Check your Tone
12. @!$% &*@!! &(*! Subject: Re: Ongoing Problems with Project
I’m not sure how to respond, since last week you told Sue
so I cancelled Wednesday’s workshop.
I can CC Sue in on this thread if you like, since she’s the
to approve the budget if we reschedule it.
Meanwhile, I can loan you my copies of the manual,
or we can look into shifting the work to someone else.
13. f) Proofread: Always Check your Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling
4. Sample Impressive Email
Example Email
Go ahead… write it, revise it, liven it up with traditional Lebanese curses, print it out,
throw darts on it, and scribble on it with crayon.
Do whatever you need in order to get it out of your system.
Just don’t hit “Send” while you’re still angry.
If your recipient has just lambasted you with an angry me
rather than reply with a point-by-point rebuttal, you can a
with a brief note like this, which
casually invokes the name of someone the angry corresp
refocuses the conversation on solutions
