The Top 10 Tips for Email Netiquette
May 7th, 2012
1.
2.
Be sure to identify yourself.
Always include a descriptive subject line that clearly states the
purpose of the email. (Add initials to all internal communication.)
3. Avoid sarcasm. It is often difficult for the reader to identify
sarcasm in an email.
4. Respect others' privacy. Always receive the author’s permission
prior to quoting or forwarding a personal email.
5. Be punctual when acknowledging or replying to an email.
6. Don’t send spam (a.k.a. junk mail). Avoid forwarding or
responding to meaningless information (chain letters, rumors,
etc.) on the web.
7. Be brief. Whenever possible, keep the body of the email contained
to one screen.
8. Observe good grammar and spelling.
9. Use suitable emoticons (emotion icons) to help convey meaning.
Such as: :-) or :-(
10. Avoid sending subjects or messages with all caps. It conveys the
message that you are screaming.
