Introduction
Email etiquette is a valuable asset in the corporate world. In Fact, emailing in today’s
society plays an important role in Internet communication. Especially, with compa-
nies that communicate more through email replies. While in a business environment
it’s a necessity to know how to send emails to your, clients, Employers, colleagues,
and boss. An Unprofessional email leaves a bad impression to recipients and can
potentially cost you your job. Also, it’s Important to be professional and concise
while writing an email. In addition, remember to watch your tone in an email. Don’t
be the coworker that uses all caps unless it’s really urgent. Many people failed to
realize that there’s a major difference between emailing a family or friend vs. email-
ing a colleague or client. While writing business professional always keep in mind
of the format of the email. Re-read the email, and ask yourself. Does this is email
make sense? And does it sound business professional compared to email you would
send your friend or family. These are all Considerable suggestions while writing
your business professional email. With that in mind Email Etiquette is an Essential
tool that helps prepares you for professional emailing in the business setting.
Email Etiquette Tips:
1.) Avoid unnecessary Capitalization: Excessive Capitalization can be distract-
ing. The less caps the better.
2.) Don’t confuse work email with personal Email: it’s important to never mix
your personal life in a work email it comes across very unprofessional.
3.) Use appropriate fonts, sizes, and colors: Bright colors and big flashy fonts
don’t display professionalism. Basic fonts and colors keep things neat and or-
ganized.

4.) Watch your use of abbreviations : abbreviations can be handy if your col-
leagues and boss are familiar with them. Also too many abbreviations can
portray laziness, so keep in mind how you use them.
5.) Reread Emails: it’s always great to proofread your emails for any misspelling
or errors.
6.) Be concise: while writing a work email it’s always good to keep it simple and
straight to the point.
7.) Watch your tone: while writing your email check it several times to see if
you come off friendly, respectful, and approachable. It’s important to not let
your emotions get the best of you while writing a professional email.

Conclusion
This booklet displays example emails of scenarios that can occur while working in
the corporate world. The email etiquette instruction booklet informs the reader the
dos and don’ts when writing a business professional email. Email etiquette is an
essential tool especially if going into a job that relies on business communication
skills. Also I believed email etiquette gives you the upper hand, compared to college
students that are very familiar with business communication skills. It’s very im-
portant to format your email, and follow all the tips giving in the booklet; unprofes-
sional emails may lead bad impressions to your colleagues, boss, and clients. So
keep in mind while writing to not to keep the email concise and professional. Also
do not be the lazy co-worker that replies to all recipients. Remember to stay aware
and proofread your email Ask yourself the following. Does this email make sense?
If not, reconsider reading the tips again. In today society people in general tend to
lean more on technology to communicate with each other. Emailing has boarding
the way we inform everyone, and has been a useful tool throughout the making. In
conclusion without email etiquette there wouldn’t be any structure in how we write
business professional emails today.
