In the absence of elaboration on what you mean: - Be brief. - Use simple language. - If you're asking for things to be done, bullet item or number them and make your request clear and flesh out the details up front. Provide them with the information that will make their work easier. - Do not send needless emails and responses (such as "Thanks" replies).
