Hi @steveBK123 , would you kindly define briefly what the "BLUF form of email" is? I don't think I have ever heard of that.

- steveBK123 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLUF_(communication) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLUF_(communication) Bottom Line Up Front Lead with the summary (conclusions/recommendations, decision) OR statement in a single sentence what action are asking the recipient Then you can follow with supporting details at increasing levels of granularity It inverts the usual structure because most people feel compelled to give background, discuss options, offer costs-benefits, go into detail, etc .. all before coming to a conclusion/request about 75% down the email.
- mxuribe 4y agoAh ok, I'm familiar with this approach. But never knew it had an actual name. Thanks!
