At the outset, let me thank you for providing us with Email Etiquette. Would love to read more such articles on different topics which will guide us while dealing with the Corporates.
Once again thank you for such an wonderful article. Good work. keep it up.
Humour doesn't travel What seems funny to you may be offensive to someone else. Remember, humour doesn't travel well. Jokes about religion, sports, political figures, and women may come across as tasteless and should be avoided at all costs. -------------------- these few lines provoked me to drop in these lines. Fortunately or Unfortunately -the world is far from ideal. Cos if it were ideal,there's still place for humour. as I understand not getting provoked by any of that-only reflects your depth. If a comment comes with a context attached,then there could be a possibility for a controlled reaction to it.
I realise that every time we swallow a not so friendly comment- we only mature that bit more.
I suppose in an ideal state ,there shouldn't be room nor the time, to think about those things.
Dear Sir/Madam, The points contained in your letter are well taken. I have come across many young users of the internet who take correspondence via e-mail as licence to use wrong abbreviations like 'U' for 'YOU' etc. With an ever increasing number of youngsters taking to the internet as a way of life, I feel it would be prudent for schools to teach e-mail/internet etiquettes as part of school curriculum from the earliest possible classes, with the of inculcating the right habits from the initial stages as wrong habits once ingrained in the system are very hard to shed.
sir/madam i have gone through the topics"Your guide to email etiquette".This topic is very good.it has helped me to lear some basic regarding english.I have known how to improve communication skill,personality etc. regards Milton Baidya
You need to add some more tips on responding to group emails. (BTW glad you added the tip about the chain emails - Indians especially are so supersitious that they tend to forward these a lot more).
With group emails if there is something controversial in your response - respond to the sender as a courtesy. Also, dont acknowledge the receipt to everyone (if that's all you are doing). I hate it when people start arguing in a group email creating a discussion instead over email.
