Emails are a very well known form of communication for business aswell as for personal use. But studies have suggested that emails may cause tension, confusion or many other negative consequences hor a high percentage of people. So how do you write emails effectively so that these confusions don't occur?
There are some steps you need to follow so you get your emails noticed and acted upon;
·Do not overcomunicate over emails- an average office worker may receive from 5 to 80 emails per day so before you begin to write an email, ask yourself if it is really necesary.·Make a good use of the "Subject" line- a blank subjet line is much more likely to be deleted or sent to spam, so allways use a few well chosen words to grab the attention of the receiver.
·Keep the messages clear- keep ypur sentences short an clear when used for business, just like traditional business letters. If you need to talk about more than one topic, consider writting them on separate emails, unlike traditional letters.
·Be polite- unless you are communicating with someone you really know, avoid slang or inappropiate abbreviations. Close your message with "Yours sincerely" or " Regards", etc. depending on the situation.
·Proofreading- before hitting the send button, re-read your email to check for spelling, punctuation or grammar mistakes. Also pay attention to the leng of your email, as people are more likely to read the shorter ones rather than the whole long ones.
