Summary

  • Make the subject line like a newspaper headline to catch people's attention
  • Maybe, put everything in the subject line? Finish with eom (end of message) e.g. "Meeting today 5pm in my office eom"
  • Focus on one topic per email e.g. don't add information about different topics that people can miss, it's better to send separate messages
  • Say what you want e.g. "Please confirm by lunchtime today"
  • In conclusion, KISS! keep it short and simple
