Email Etiquette

I told you in last post that emails should be used wisely. Here is a list IMO of What not to do with EMAILS : 

1. Do not Reply-To-All.
2. Do not Reply-To-All unless it is absolutely necessary. 
3. Use only widely used TLAs (Three letter Abbreviations). FYI (For your information), FYR (For your Record), PFA(Please find attached), EOD (End of Day), EOB (End of Business), ASAP (As soon as possible) EOM (End of Message) NNTO (No Need To Open) are some of the popular ones. Do not go overboard in creating your own.
4. Never use TLAs when communicating with someone for the first time. 
5. Never use harsh words in emails. Never write anything that is not suitable to be read over and over. 
6. Before forwarding a regular mail, clear the history until it is absolutely necessary. 
7. Do not forward Fun-mails to your seniors, bosses.  
8. If you receive “A-rated” contents on email, enjoy them, but never forward them to a huge list of people.

    Lols … Well there is no limit to creativity but I would limit the meaning to official usage. “FYI” still holds good for official use and hence can be used. If you think otherwise, i can explain Or FYI.. :-)
