Sending email messages. Most of us today use emails as our sole means of communicating with one another, please keep in mind that the receiver is another human being at the other end of your email messages. Said as a reminder as sometimes it gets forgotten in the business of life.
Be brief: Match your subject line to your message and keep it as brief as possible. Most people are swamped with emails in the inbox and too many are too long to read or do not relate to the subject box.
Use white spaces: It really looks better and is easier on the eyes. Click a space before you begin to write your message and between paragraphs. Links, put them on a separate line and indented like this,

Write good subject lines…short and to the point of the article, ex: MISC is bad…Re: tickets for the play tonight…better. Follow it with an email topic that is in line with subject.
Be careful sending attachments. Not everyone has a speedy internet service. When in doubt, ask. Also, don’t send an attachment to lots of email addresses at one time. The same for forwarding messages. It is better to cut the enormous amount of listed emails included in a recieved email before you forward it on to another.
Helpful hint: Always include your email address to the end of your email message. It is a helpful tool for the recipient. You can add it to your signature. Now that I will set up today.
Do not FLAME: Flaming is the act of sending an outrageous insult either by posting it publicly or privately because of a difference in opinions. In life people rarely trade insults as they do on the internet. A good flame mixes a razor-sharp wit with a devastating put-down so that the other person will only make themself look silly if they dare disagree here is an example of what a flame looks like…”The absurdity of your ideas is exceeded only by the incoherence of your remarks, beginning with…”
It is never the best way to handle situations. Take disagreements off-line. A flame often times makes the sender feel good and satisfied, but in fact it is genuinely hurtful and should always be avoided. Better to disagree and speak intelligently than to attack and kill any means of correcting a misunderstood or badly worded email. Again, sometimes emails are just a misunderstanding were the sender just does not express their thoughts well therefore not understood correctly. It is best to ask for clarification first.
Well that is part two. I know I learned a thing and maybe three.
Untill next time..as always
I am wishing you a day full of “Abundance” in all you set your hands to do.
