'''Business Email Format''' | |||
<br> | |||
All business communication by email should adhere to certain formatting criteria and should: | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>Be clear, concise, and to the point</li> | |||
<li>Avoid unnecessary download time required for fancy fonts, graphics, or stationary backgrounds</li> | |||
<li>Be scannable and limited to a single topic per email</li> | |||
<li>Be professional in tone and structure | |||
Business emails should be concise and to the point. Use plain text and common fonts with a simple signature line. Fancy graphics, fonts, and backgrounds can take up unnecessary storage space in the recipient’s inbox and may load slowly, or not at all. Stick to one topic in a business email and write only the things that are appropriate for anyone to read, as email forwarding makes it possible for originally unintended parties to receive the email. Proper grammar and spelling is very important in business emails because it reflects on you and your abilities. Attachments should be prepared in a format that any recipient can easily access/download. | |||
