Grammar Pattern
Guidelines for writing e-mail
· keep sentences brief, crisp and simple
· make good use of headings, bullets and numbered points
· keep social banter to a brief opening sentence
· use boxes, colors, italics and bold highlighting to draw attention to key points and create a visual impact
· always edit documents to make sure spelling is consistent and sentences are grammatically correct
· form ideas clearly into a planned structure before starting to write and check that only relevant parties are sent copies
Business Email checklist:
Is your email:
-Clear?
-Polite?
-Completely relevant?
-Written with care?
-Checked?
In conclusion, as people get more and more used to emailing, they can become increasingly careless about this form of communication. Unfortunately, though, the written word always has a greater impact than the spoken word. It is more permanent and can be returned to time and time again for perusal. I’m sure that each and every one of us has deeply regretted sending at least one email in our lives.
