Professional Email Etiquette

Your emails are a reflection of your professionalism. Here are the golden rules.

1. Clear Subject Lines

The subject should summarize the email.

• Bad: "Question"
• Good: "Question regarding Q4 Marketing Report Deadline"

2. Keep it Brief

Busy people skim. Get to the point quickly. Use bullet points for lists.

3. Professional Tone

Avoid slang and excessive emojis. Be polite but direct.

• Start: "Hi [Name]," or "Dear [Name],"
• End: "Best regards," or "Thanks,"

4. Proofread

Typos look sloppy. Always read your email once before hitting send. Check attachments too!

5. Reply Time

Try to reply within 24 hours. If you need more time, send a quick note saying you've received it and will get back to them by [Date].
