Misunderstanding and emails

How many times do you consult your emails everydays ?

I'm sure that you have ever had the same problems as mine : miscommunications with emails !!
How many times the email address you provided isn't current ? You may be sending your newsletter to an old email...

This adress may help you to answer questions you may ask yourself about emails :

Moreover the written codes in an email are not the same as in a real letter :

For example, writing emails imply codes and new good manners that you can learn on that website called "Writing winning emails" which can maybe help you

So If I had to sum up I would say that for example if you have to right a business email, you have to know that :

- Email is much less formal than a written letter. Emails are usually short and concise.
If you are writing to someone you don't know, a simple "Hello" is adequate. Using a salutation such as "Dear Mr Smith," is too formal.

Whereas :
- When writing to someone you know well, feel free to write as if you are speaking to the person. Use abbreviated verb forms (He's, We're, He'd, etc.)
