The document discusses the importance of correctly using different types of email forwarding in an office environment. It explains various forwarding styles such as 'just forward without any remark', 'forward with fyi', 'forward with fya', and 'forward with ++ or looping', highlighting the potential misunderstandings each can cause. The key takeaway is to be mindful of the chosen forwarding method to ensure clear communication.

1. Know More About
Forwarding Mail
In the office environment, emails are the most initial thing. Emails are the written
proof as well a basic communication platform. Now, there is a very important thing to
be mentioned here and that is the use of correct forward. You will get the whole idea
just after reading this.

2. Basically, there are types of ‘forward’ mail as follow:
1. General fun stuff
2. Just forward without any remark
3. Forward with FYI (For your information)
4. Forward with FYA (For Your Action)
5. Forward with ++ or looping
Now, these are the forwards we generally write while sending mail, but without giving
any importance to the selection of them. Here you will learn which forward exactly
you should use. The first one is not explained here because it is not that important
but the others are.
Just forward without any remark
Sometimes you get the mail without a single word written, what a receiver should do
with this kind of mail? It is even difficult while clearing mails, where we are supposed
to add it. That is why, be careful while sending a mail without adding any information
to it.
Forward with FYI (For your information)
Sometimes mails are forwarded with three letters FYI (For your information). Now
these types of forwarding are also a headache, because you never know what
exactly the sender means. It is just impossible, how a big mail can be read and
forwarded in just a few seconds. It gives the impact that the sender thinks himself too
busy and could not read it, instead he is expecting the recipient to read it fully. Or the
sender only wanted to forward this mail because he wanted to loop you. That is why,
be very aware while using FYI, if you don’t want the receiver to misunderstand you.
Forward with FYA (For Your Action)
This type is more puzzling than the others. With the word FYA (For Your Action), the
person is expecting some action from you, but he will not give any guidance. You
have to act only. This type of forward means that all the high level activities are
carried out without informing the recipient, when “real” action is expected, sender
suddenly realizes the recipient and include him in FYA mail. So think twice before
sending this type of forward.

3. Forward with ++ or looping
It is very difficult to interpret forward with ++ or looping. This clearly says that “++
person is responsible for this activity, so I am looping him and he will do this part of
the task while I am having the full responsibility and remaining tasks”. So if you don’t
want to create any misunderstanding, use this one properly.
So, be careful while forwarding, your receiver should get the exact meaning of what
you are intended to say.
