Email Tips

NEVER send email when you are tired, or angry. Wait until the next morning

NEVER forward an email, without the senders' written approval  (some exceptions for simple matters)


What % of employers READ their employees email?  ___ %
  So... be careful what you say.


When writing email,
   Always KEEP IN MIND, someone might print all of your email and show it to your boss, and interpreted parts of it for your boss.
   This is like someone recording your personal conversation, and playing it back for your boss, or your boss's boss.

From: reallygoodstudent@gmail.com

Subject: Hi
Hi Mr. M., it looks like I will be away next week for your class. I always get the two labs mixed up. I wish I could make it but I can't. I know it is important and I hope you can tell me everything I missed and spend some time helping me before Christmas. I really need to know what I missed, as I want to do well in all my courses. I have a doctors appointment about a large growth on my elbow, that has troubled me for years. My Dad has the same large growth. I have been to two doctors since last year, I hope it can be treated.  Was there going to be a Quiz? please write me right back if there was going to be one.
