The document provides tips for proper email etiquette. It recommends being appropriate, not using all capital letters which could come across as angry, using please and thank you to be polite, avoiding text language and sarcasm, keeping sentences concise to avoid boring the reader, being specific rather than overly descriptive, writing with purpose, and treating the recipient as you would like to be treated.

1. Email Etiquette
By: Austin

2. Be Appropriate
• You always want to be
appropriate in your
emails, because you
don’t know if what
you think could be
appropriate could be
inappropriate to the
person you are
sending.

3. DON’T USE ALL CAPTITOLS
• If you use capitols when it is a business email
the person you are sending to will think you
are ANGREY at them and they may be
offended.

4. Always use please and thank you
• If you always use please and thank you the
person that you will be sending to will think
you are polite and nice.

5. Proper email spelling
• What it means to have proper email spelling is
not to use text language. This means do not
use the words plz or lol.

6. Don’t use sarcasm
• Don’t use sarcasm when you are writing an
apporite email. The person may think you
aren’t taking it seriously.

7. Don’t have too long sentences
• If you use really long sentences the person
you are sending it to may think you are boring.

8. Be specific
• Always be specific, and don’t always go on and
on and on. It will make the person think you
are too discriptive.

9. Have a reason to write
• If you write with a purpose you will want to
talk about it, and you won’t be boring.

10. Type as others as you would type to
you.
• This is the most important so you will be nice
when you type and the person will think your
nice.
