5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Resource for Professional E-mail Writing, April 18, 2008
This review is from: E-Mail: A Write It Well Guide (Paperback)
If you're looking for a guide on writing e-mails in a business setting, look no further. This book covers every aspect of writing e-mails and even some tips on how to organize your e-mail as well. The chapters take you through different topics regarding e-mail and at the end of each chapter are some activities that you can do to help build your awareness of your e-mail writing skills and how examining the messages you receive from others can help improve your awareness of writing skills. This book is perfectly designed for training courses, since each chapter could be completed in one training session. I recommend this if you are looking to write e-mails as professionally as you can.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: E-Mail: A Write It Well Guide (Paperback)
This book makes it simple for employees to understand the best ways to handle sending of email in today's hectic business world. The book helps people realize several key points: the best way to respond to harsh emails is not to answer right away, delay before you send a hasty reply...how to include clear expectations in the content of the email...who should be included, who cc'd, etc.

Great book!
