  How to write email, a self-documenting guide -------------------------------------------- * Write to the correct person. If you don't know who you are addressing, go do more research. * Don't waste their time. That means be polite, get directly to your point, and ask for precisely what you want from them. * Make it clear what they can gain from you. Sometimes that's just the pleasant feeling of helping a fellow human out. * Your From: address must work and be correct. The natural reply to an email is another email. If you don't read the replies, why are you bothering to send this? All of the above are applications of one principle: Treat people with respect. At every point, you should ask yourself if what you are doing conveys respect for the person you are communicating with, or whether you are trying any means you think might be effective to gain their attention. Respect does not mean being effusive or obsequious; it means awareness of the limited time they have to conduct business. Once you've made your point, stop.
