Email Etiquette

I saw this at Reader’s Digest Asia. Learn a thing or two in this list of Dos and Don’ts when it comes to emailing.

• Don’t use CAPITAL LETTERS - it’s the equivalent of shouting.
• Don’t send emotionally charged messages. If you wouldn’t say it to the recipient’s face, don’t send it.
• Don’t email confidential material. It could end up in the wrong hands. Send a letter instead.
• Do be specific in the subject line. Your message could get deleted if it looks like spam.
• Do answer at the top, not the bottom, of an email. It’s annoying having to scroll down the bottom to read a response.
• Do stick with black font, no larger than 12 points in size. This is the easiest type to read.
