This document provides tips for effective email habits and avoiding common problems. It discusses best practices for subject lines, message text, attachments, signatures, style, confidentiality, and email management. Specific recommendations include keeping subject lines brief but descriptive, writing concisely in email messages, using attachments sparingly, maintaining a professional signature, avoiding sensitive topics in email, and regularly organizing email folders. The goal is to write emails that are clear, secure, and minimize wasted time or confusion for recipients.
Email etiquette refers to the principles of behavior that one should use when writing or answering email messages. Because email is less personal than a phone or in-person conversation but quicker to send than a letter, it is possible for serious breaches of manners to take place. Write carefully. Once you send an email message, you cannot take it back or make it disappear.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Email has become so common and so easy to use that it is easy for us to become careless and fall into bad Email habits. This presentation will provide some guidelines that will
Make you look more professional,
Make it easier for your correspondents to understand and respond to your Email, and
Keep you and your organization out of trouble.
This is the outline of a TechRepublic newsletter article that sparked this presentation. It is a good summary of the presentation. These points will be covered in more detail later in the presentation.
Now, none of us are guilty of any of these habits, but we have probably received Emails from those who are.
Most of the articles on writing E-mail that I referenced were unorganized lists of tips.
I organized them into the following topics for presentation.
It is all to easy to send shotgun messages to a long list of people hoping that someone has the information you need or will take the action you want.
It is much more effective and less annoying to the recipients when you limit your addressees and make it clear who has the action.
When our membership director sends out Eblasts to the chapter membership she is careful to use BCC.
If someone is trying to organize coverage of an event then a reply all is useful in order to see who is available when.
(Use coffee duty reply as good example of Reply All.)
Nothing is more devastating to an Email user than losing part or all of an address book.
Use one of the address book fields to link people in a mail group, e.g., family, ARMA chapter.
Then you can sort on this field to group all the names together when you want to build a list.
Add new correspondents to your address book as you receive Email from them.
(Use example of sending seminar RFP to several addressees as separate Emails.)
There is not much to add to this.
This is the area where most of us could do better.
Many of your correspondents are faced with large numbers of Emails when they check their inboxes.
You need to make your message standout and make it easy for the person to decide when to read your message.
A good subject line also makes it easier to locate you message later.
(Use Email to Region announcing election loss as example of last bullet.)
All but the last are too brief and general to determine what the message is about.
The purpose of your Email text or body is to convey a message to your addressees as quickly and clearly as possible.
Take the time to craft the text using all the rules of good writing that you learned in school.
Remember that some of your addressees my have Email readers that only handle plain text.
They are the lowest common denominator.
Others, who use high end Email applications like MS Outlook, may be able to read Rich Text Format and HTML messages.
The bottom line is to write like a professional.
Top quote is when you quote the portion of the original message that you are replying to above your reply.
Bottom quote is just the opposite.
Line by line or question by question responses are OK, just don’t make them argumentative.
(Use example of long .gov job listing URL)
(Use example of Chicago speaker Email with no intro.)
(Use Tina’s Attorney-Client Email as a good example of imbedded attachment.)
Scribd.com is recommended by Peter Kurilecz, CRM, CA of the RM Listserv.
Most of us have been guilty of forgetting attachments or sending large attachments that take forever to download.
There are enough free blog and wiki sites on the Internet that we can avoid sending attachments.
Trend in most businesses is to post meeting agendas, presentations, and minutes on in-house blogs or wikis and just use Emails to announce their posting.
This reduces the communication bandwidth needed for large distribution lists and the Email storage needed for multiple copies of Email with large attachments.
(Use example of CRM Workshop announcement with link to website brochure.)
(use example of ARMA vendor follow up Email.)
How many times have you received a message where the signature block was longer than the message?
Be selective with your signature line.
VCards are standard contact information that can be shared on the Internet. They are convenient for sharing contact information.
But they may be difficult for some Email readers to handle.
Use sparingly.
(Use example of Region Assessment Email for large signature block.)
(Use example of dialogue with ICRM on obtaining CRM credits.)
(Use example of driver’s license Email hoax.)
The things on this list tend to annoy other people.
Protect your reputation as a courteous Email user.
Mother always told you to count to ten.
Except in rare cases with internal Email, you really can not recall an Email. So be careful what you send.
Check your company policy if you are using their Email server.
Secure socket layer (https) provides encryption of information exchanged via web browser.
Safer than giving credit card info via phone or fax.
May become clogged with spam if you don’t use a service with a good filter, like Hotmail or Gmail.
A later user can track back your activity and collect info on you.
Leave nothing behind.
Working from home may be tempting but it is dangerous.
Some websites offer a free automatic service. Do it every 3 months.
6. Most of know what it is.
7. Call or write customer service when in doubt.
8. Online commerce sites will have a secure socket layer (https) form for collecting this info, not Email.
9. Unsubscribing confirms your Email address.
10. Friends may pass along malware and viruses unintentionally.
11. Firewall, virus checker, spyware blocker, spam filter, etc.
12. Once used on another computer consider it compromised.
13. Like wearing your seat belt.
14. Unless your wireless access port is in the middle of nowhere.
15. All other Email is subject to compromise.
(Use Netscape folders as example.)
For personal Email folders need to make sense to the user.
For official company Email the company file plan should be used.
Once in a while we all get overwhelmed with the unread messages in our inboxes.
Here is a way to start over.
Another, less honest way is to claim that you had a computer malfunction that lost your Email.
Most companies and agencies permit a limited amount of unofficial Email correspondence at work.
To avoid overwhelming your office inbox with outside Email, or having the office firewall trap outside Email, use other Email accounts for non-business correspondence.
