  3. E-MAIL ETIQUETTE Writing Powerful Messages

  4. Parts of an E-Mail • Greeting • Using a name in the greeting: • Ensures recipient that message is for him/her • Is a social nicety • Develops rapport & connection • Creates a more professional impression • Deciding on the title: • Formal greeting – Use Mr. or Ms. • E.g.: “Mr. John Smith” or “Ms. Sager” • Informal greeting – Use only first name • E.g.: “John” • Casual Greeting – Use full name without title • E.g. “John Smith”

  5. Closing • Choice of words: • Use “Sincerely” or “Regards” • Punctuation in closing: • Use comma • E.g.: Sincerely, Regards, • Details about signature blocks: • Best position is at the end of the message. • Ideal to use four or fewer lines. • Provides ways to “find” you other than replying to the email message. • People can trace you even if your message was forwarded.

  6. Spacing • Spacing the Greeting: • Use a double space between the greeting and message. • Spacing the Message Body: • Sentences within a paragraph are single spaced • Use a double space to separate between paragraphs. • Do not indent the paragraphs. • Use a double space between the last sentence and the closing. • Spacing the Closing: • Use double space between the closing and the beginning of signature block. • Use single space within the signature block.

  7. Subject Line • How do you ensure that your email is opened? • By using a good choice of wording in the subject line. • What is the purpose of the subject line? • To allow the reader to see at a glance what the message is regarding. • It serves as gatekeeper, determining whether the message is viewed by the recipient. • How important is the subject line? • The subject line is vital! It’s arguably the most important line you write in an email.

  8. Replying to Email • Two ways to reply: • Maintain the “thread”. • Use this to reply to the message. • Create a new message. • Use this when addressing a new topic. • 2 reply buttons: • “Reply”: When you press the “Reply” button, the response goes only to the original sender. • “Reply All”: When you press the “Reply All” button the response goes to all the people who received the original message. • This is only an option if the mail was “CC’d” to others apart from you.

  9. CC’s • CC’s: stands for Carbon Copy: • Decide who needs to get a carbon copy. • Sending every email to your superiors to create an impression will only create irritation. • Multiple Recipients: • When sending group emails: • Group all people in the same category under one name. • When creating a mail only the name of the group will be visible in the “To” line. • This provides privacy to the recipients.

  10. Forwarding • Disadvantages of Forwarding: • Violation of privacy • Too many addresses make the message cumbersome • 2 options regarding forwarded messages: • Forward the message after deleting the list of addresses • Copy the information and paste it into a new message window.
