Good subject line.


 A good subject line is the most important part of an email when being sent.

Good Example: 
Subject: 10 am meeting on'' payment policy'' scheduled to 1 pm on same day.

Bad Example:
Subject: Meeting rescheduled.

As you can see, the good subject line example clearly identifies what the meeting is about, and at what time it takes place. The subject line is meant to tell the reader at a glance, what the message is about.it should be such to give the reader a proper overview of the contents inside the body of the email

A good subject line may also decrease the risk of spam with an appropriate subject line, as people will be more interested to read an email with a proper subject line. Also the subject line should not be too long or too short.

Importance of grammar.


Grammar is the most important part of the email. Nothing is worse than to receive an email from someone who does not spell check or does not make silly grammatical mistakes.        
                                                         
                                               


The keys to send a good email without such childish mistakes are:
·       always double check what you wrote.
·       Set a spell check on your computer.
·       Proof read


The for the bad ones are:
·       Misspelt words.
·       Improperly worded sentences.
    Talking with text slang. Example: I O U(I owe you), THX(thanks), no probs (no problem)

The importance of grammar can clearly make or break you. For example, when sending in a resume, you will most likely be hired if your cover letter has appropriate grammar. Thus grammar plays a pivot role in emailing.

Ineffective E-mails.


Unfortunately, there is there is the existence of ineffective emails too. Anyone who has sent an impulsive, emotional email to a co-worker or (worse) a manager knows the danger that email poses, like a missile fired at its target, once you turn the key you can't recall it. And your emails don't even have to be intentionally acerbic to do damage, it’s both immediate and impersonal, since you can say things in a written message that are harder to say face-to-face.

The main 3 problems that people commit in writing emails are as follow:
  • Saying Way More than is Necessary – This is one you won’t know the message has committed until at least a third of the way through it. If you find yourself thinking “for Pete’s sake, get to the point…” – you've got one of these messages.\
  • Straying Widely from the Topic – When the email subject reads “TPS Report Cover Sheet Format” and half-way through you’re reading about Tom’s lunch plans or the new policy on chewing gum in the break room, you know you've found one of these jewels.
  • Send an Email that’s completely Unnecessary – These are probably my biggest pet peeve of all. Emails that consist of reciprocal greetings or acknowledgments that are just a waste of server space

so these are some of the major mistake you need to avoid during writing an email.
I will continue explaining about the topic in the near future.
