Email Etiquette Rules.
1. Never write in all capital letters. When you write an email using all capital letters, LIKE THIS, it means you're yelling at the person. This is not professional. Never use all capital letters.
2. Write a meaningful subject line. The subject line must say the main idea in only a few words. Your subject line should not be longer than 10 words.
3. Avoid using slang words in an email, like: wazzup, ur kool, looooooveeee!!!!, etc. Use proper English and sentences.
4. Make sure everything is spelled correctly. If you have misspelled words in your email, you will look unprofessional and people may not even read the rest of your email.
5. When writing a professional email, try to avoid using color. Stick with black typing, it looks the best. Color should mostly be used to emphasize something very important.
6. Avoid having too much typing close together. You can space things out a little more by pressing the ENTER key twice. Don't separate every sentence on a different line, but try to avoid having too much typing together. It's hard to read.
