Alex Beam deserves a Pulitzter for that column, especially this remark:

“If you haven’t told me what you want by line four of your e-mail, trust me, I didn’t get the message.”

So true!

From an article in the Boston Globe by Alex Beam:

http://www.boston.com/ae/media/articles/2009/06/19/paper_vs_computer_screen

Even the best computer screens are harder on the eyes than the paper page is. Jakob Nielsen, a Web usability researcher, reports that we generally read 25 percent more slowly on the screen. I read more quickly on the screen and edit out about 40 percent of what appears before my eyes. If you haven’t told me what you want by line four of your e-mail, trust me, I didn’t get the message.

There’s also an email checklist proposed by Seth Godin: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/06/email-checklist.html

It’s pretty much interesting reading both yours and Seth’s advices. Imho, they just accomplish each other.

Thank you.

While you said it, some people may need to be explained in detail, don’t use acronyms. It might be obvious to you, but those inn receipt might either use it as meaning something else or have no idea what it means.

And for goodness sakes don’t use IM shorthand. A business email should be treated as a formal letter.

Proofread before you hit the send button.
