PROPER EMAIL ETIQUETTE

By: Emma

USE GOOD GRAMMAR While writing periods. Also make sure

you are spelling email use proper grammar like using commas and thing right and using words correctly.

RESPOND WITH IN 24 HOURS Once you get an email you should try to

respond within 24-48 hours. If the email is not important you should just delete the email.

DON’T WRITE IN ALL CAPS Another tip while you are typing an

email is to not use all caps. If you type in all caps the person you are sending the email to might think you are yelling.

HI!!

HAVE A SUBJECT Always make sure you have an

appropriate subject for your email. Don’t make your subject say “hey” they will probably think that the email isn't that important. Make your subject something more pacific.

DON’T USE TEXT LANGUAGE Don’t ever use text language. While

writing your email don’t write it like you would be texting someone. Don’t use “lol”, “idk”, or “omg”. Also the person might not know what that means.

DON’T GIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION When writing an email to someone you

don’t know make sure you don’t give any personal information. So make sure you don’t share your phone number, address, name ,etc.

PROOFREAD EMAIL If you want your email to be the best it

can be you should proofread your email. Maybe even have someone else read over it if needed. You should proofread so that if you spell something wrong of use wrong grammar you can fix it.

DO NOT COPY SOMETHING WITHOUT PERMISSION This is one of the most important things

to do while writing an email. You need to get permission by citing before you copy something. So if you copy an image you should cite the image.

BE CAREFUL WITH FORMATTING You should also be carful with

formatting. Formatting is important in email because it could mess up your email and could make it, make no sense. So say if you accidentally clicked the caps button while typing, and then you clicked send. Then it would be all messed up.

AVOID LONG SENTENCES Another thing you should watch when

you are writing an email is long sentences. It is easy to just keep typing and get really long sentences. So make sure you read over and make sure it all makes sense.
