What makes you delete an unread e-mail? 
What makes you open one?
 Always make sure you:
  • Catch their Attention: Start your most important sentences with the person’s first name.
  • State your Request: Your request should be easy to find, easy to read and simple to execute.
  • Be Concise: Keep your total email to less than one screen in length.
  • Keep it Under 3: The ideal email has no more than 3 sentences or 3 short paragraphs.
  • Clearly Communicate Your Tone: It is easy to misunderstand a writer’s tone in an e-mail.  Follow up important emails with a voicemail. 
  • Leave Contact Information: Make your contact information easy to find and use text format.
