When you use EMAIL, remember "netiquette:"
- Keep messages short and to the point.
- Use mixed lowercase and uppercase letters. Text in all uppercase is considered SHOUTING.
- Use an appropriate subject line.
- Pay attention to grammar and spelling. People will form an opinion of you based on how you write.
- Spell check!
- Sign your name or create a "signature line."
