Meanwhile take care, and I hope your father gets well soon!

E-mailsE-mailsUsed increasingly in international business to replace
letters, faxes and sometimes phonecalls
Why? INEXPENSIVE, EASY-TO-USE
-Style of writing can vary, but usually…. more INFORMALHowever…… we must pay attention to:1. Our reader and our purpose, and adapt style of
writing accordingly;2. HUMOR/JOKES;3. E-mails are public;4. Sending something important? Use follow-up faxes
or letters!5. Keep track! File and Print!!
