Email Etiquette
7 Rules for Effective Email Communication
And who cares for it, you say? Turns out, more people than you
imagine. An email is a reflection of your thoughts, personality
and professionalism too. Far too many people take far too many
things for granted while compiling an email. Some emails turn
out to be funny, vague and downright nonsensical.
What is email etiquette?
Follow these rules to avoid the virtual faux pas:
#1 LanguageThe most important rule is to keep the language
in the email comprehendible without using too
many short forms and grammatical liberties.
#2 Short and direct mails
An email should not be an essay! Emails are
meant to be short and to the point. So avoid the
temptations to ramble on lest you come across as
unprofessional!
#3 Formatting
Don’t go overboard with formatting. You
might want a pretty looking email but it’ll end
up coming across as needy and childish.
#4 Overuse of CCDon’t overuse blind copy and courtesy copy.
Only CC people who are directly involved in the
matter and BCC large number of recipients to
save them from seeing a huge list of names.
#5 Keep it professionalDo not use email for private conversations or
confidential discussions. An email is considered
company property and can be retrieved, examined,
and used in a court of law.
#6 Reply allThe ‘reply all’ button is often abused by many. Do not
use it for every trivial reply to emails. For instance, if
you just want to say ‘Me too!’ do not include everyone
in your delight!
#7 CAPITALSAvoid using Capitals. Using too many words in
capitals could come across rude and as if you
are shouting at the recipient. THAT IS A
SERIOUS NO-NO.
