Getting an Email Response
|
|
|
When writing an email in which you are asking someone for information or a specific action, get to the point within the first 2 sentences. The recipient should immediately know what is being asked of them.
When you are requesting 2 or more things, use bullets or list them in number format in order for them to be processed and read more easily. A list is also a visual indicator of more than one thing needing attention.
Finally, give deadlines and complete, succinct instructions. For example:
Joe:
Can you please send me First Quarter 2011 Marketing ROI reports by next Friday, the 15th? I'm working on the 2012 budget and need to compare against this year.
Thank you.
