I also try not to personalize the email, so that I don't come off too personal or too overly familiar with receiver. That being said I have seen many corporate emails, that I felt were inappropriate for work emails, I have seen someone address personal issues an employee had in a group email, I have seen someone, essentially yelled at in group emails between coworkers and employees. After seeing the incorrect way that sometimes professional emails are handled I can definitely understand the importance of grammar and professionalism in business.

The email has been evaluated on its use of language and expression, tone and organisation.

For every email that’s being composed, you must remember to always put a subject or topic in the subject section. This will let the receiver know exactly what the email is going to be about. Once you’ve finished your email, you should always make sure there’s a signature at the end.

Reflecting on this course over this semester, there have been many lessons learned that will be valuable, as we enter the business world. Our first lesson was to learn to work together, as a team, to prepare a short memo, long memo, letter, and email for use in the business world. This is a lesson that will experience many times as we do our daily work. Punctuation and grammar are so important to present to the client and other organizations that we are professionals. It could mean the loss of a sale or acquiring new business. It’s like dressing for work; looking professional or unprofessional.

Similar to policies for appropriate use of the telephone, organizations need to define appropriate use of e-mail.

In the first project, I knew how to write a professional email. Actually, I never use email in my high school, so I did not know how to write an email. Before the class, I just use the way that how to write a mail to write an email to my professors. The text and the Messenger are very popular in our life. But mails or texts are different with official email. On the one hand, every email must include a formal opening and closing. Writing “Dear Professor” in the beginning, and writing “Thanks” in the end. It is just the rule of the email, and we need to say dear even if the recipient is a old man. On the other hand, the language choose in text is unlimited. The abbreviations are very common in text, because it is more convenience. But we cannot use “ASAP” in official email, whatever Professors understand it means as soon as possible or not.

Think about it: even though the Web (and how we use it) evolves on a practically constant basis, all of us are intimately familiar with “email blasts”—those one-size-fits-all messages that don’t give us even the illusion of a personal touch.

Dillon illustrates, “’i had sent you the assgnment earlier but I didn’t get a respond. If u get this assgnment could u please responed. Thanking u for ur cooperation’” (417).

Being able to show an example of how people send emails to one another with no merit or proof reading or care for correction. Allows the reader to show his evidence so the reader can see what he is writing about. Not only is this email not from a student but I believe it’s from a professor and that shows that it’s a common problem with educators as well. It’s no doubt that it’s much easier to shorten words but that’s where the problem starts, because if it’s ok for them to write that way then it’s ok for me to do the same. Once they get into a professional position they think its ok to send people email in an informal way. A lot of people send email like a text message, and not many companies allow the use of cell phone so people use emails to communicate with one another. When employees need to send someone an important email they do so improper because that’s what they have become accustom

Third, is that email s an inefficient medium for in ambiguous, complex and novel situations”.

In "What Corporate America Can't Build: A Sentence", Sam Dillon explores the tangled quagmire that is corporate and work related e-mails. The problem is not email itself, rather the ways in which the e-mails are composed. Employees at the bottom rungs of the corporate ladder and CEO's alike appear to write amateurishly with gross negligence to grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, spelling, tone, capitalization, or even basic coherence.

I totally agree Latricia before Antonelli it had been quite a while since I have even used my computer. The computers class really helped me brush up on some of the things that I had learned in the past. I have learned several things about emailing such as not opening the message if there is no subject because it could be a virus. While working in the medical field the computer will be used quite a lot. Whenever I am sending emails I always go back and check for errors because there will me times when I will have to send out emails at work. I also learned to only use the company email for work reasons only it should never be used to send personal information or to contact family or friends. I feel like you can never learn too much about computers.

In ‘PRYING EYES, KEEP OUT’ (Newsweek,06/05/00) by Newsweek staff, he explains how email is being riskier to use.A few years ago, while John Blumenthal was on a consulting job for a foreign company complained about inconsistency of his team members to his American partner. Even though the partner forwarded this message, Blumenthal was not ashamed rather was determined to form a company to build an e-mail system safe by the help of QVtech. The email-software is designed as such that secret messages would disappear after short time without the intention of humiliate, contradict or indict the sender. (The encrypted email can only be disclosed by the designated recipient as per the sender’s wish). In ZipLip, recipients are directed to a specific

Email etiquette refers to a set of dos and don’ts that are recommended by business and communication experts in response to the growing concern that people are not using their email effectively or appropriately. Since email is part of the virtual world of communication, many people communicate in their email messages the same way they do in virtual chat rooms: with much less formality and sometimes too aggressively. Email etiquette offers some guidelines that all writers can use to facilitate better communication between themselves and their readers. One overall point to remember is that an email message does not have non-verbal expression to supplement what we are "saying." Most of the time we make judgments about a person’s
