The way out of this is to make it acceptable to send emails that open with a polite greeting and then just outline their message in bullet points. As long as they're intelligible and not outright rude, emails really don't need to be a writing contest.
- gcoakes 3y agoIs email really like that for other industries? Where I work, the only non-content prose I read or write is the salutation and signature: ``` Hello Bob, We're observing an issue with X, and I was directed to you by Y as a good point of contact. Do you have any comments on: 1. Some point of interest. 2. ... There's more info at: Jira: http://some.site/TICKET-1 http://some.site/TICKET-1 Customer Ticket: https://someother.site/1234 https://someother.site/1234 Respectfully, <name> ```
