To: “Success Language” Column Readers
Date: [Effective date of this publication.]
Subject: Eliminate Egregious E-mail Elements
Please accept the challenge to keep your e-mail message length to a single screen.
Eliminate the receiver’s need to scroll down a screen to continue reading your message. Make your “subject” interesting enough so it stands out from the other 100 messages in your receiver’s in-box, yet not so creative that it is misleading. Get directly to the point at the start of the message. Ask what you want to ask and give the pertinent information you need to give. Four get spill cheque. Reed yore mess age in context bee fore you send it. (Spell check found no errors with the previous sentence as far as word spelling only.) IM n TM abrvs n :-) r naprpte 4 biz EM. (Instant message and text message abbreviations and emoticons are inappropriate for business e-mail.) You know not to forward e-mail to another person but you do it anyway. Cut-and-paste what you want to pass along into a separate e-mail and address that e-mail directly.
Make your e-mail business-effective and your messages get opened and read more often.
