Email Etiquette Journal

I learned a lot about the Email Etiquette Assignment we discussed in class today. Personally I thought that their wasn’t a whole lot to do when you are writing an email to someone. You would think that it’s just a simple writing assignment, but it really isn’t! Their are a lot of things you can do to create a good email. The first step for Email format is using the MLA format. It includes double spacing, white paper, black ink, and Times Roman Numeral (12 pt). Also preferably you would like to use 1st or 3rd person such as he, she, they, I, etc. You want to avoid using slang or text messaging language. You want to write it like your writing a email to your professor, not your best friend for five years! When writing your email you want to consider who your audience is going to be. Also the purpose and how much does the person know about the subject. Most important you want to have a developed introduction. Another thing that is very important is fully developed paragraphs, a thesis, and a discussion section. If you don’t know a thesis is a statement of purpose to help the reader understand what your talking about in your email. After your completed body paragraphs, you want to end with a conclusion. The conclusion is mainly you telling the audience of what you want to happen. You don’t want to end your email with words like in conclusion, and finally. What you would like to happen is the reader coming to the same agreement as you do. Like Mrs. Crawford said if your complaining about your grade to an a instructor you want to say “thank for your time”. Then when your done you want to revise it, and you shouldn’t have any grammar errors, sentence errors, correct grammar usage, and no punctuation errors. If you do all the things that I’ve listed in this journal, I can guarantee you a great email assignment!! Thank you for your time to read my journal
