4. Some things to remember when writing
business emails(etiquettes)
Get right to the point : Don’t use unnecessary
words and phrases that distract from the main idea
of the email or may confuse the
reader.
 Summarize the message in
the subject line.
Keep message clear and focused.
Do not capitalize (i.e.., ALL UPPERCASE) unless you
really mean it. “CALL ME!” is interpreted differently
than “call me”.
