Writing emails is an art. Ever since I started writing emails in 2002 with my first email account, I have been fascinated by the effectiveness of this medium of communication. I am also a zero inbox person, I never leave even a single unread mail in my inbox.
Communicating within the organization or to the clients is mostly done nowadays through emails and I find most emails either not being complete or not in the right tone. I try to summarize in this PPT, how to write effective emails. Hope it helps!
(Ps – if you are accessing this via mobile, click on the linkedin logo (IN) & read it via the slideshare site. The experience is better :))
Thanks!

hey ashok,
i really like how you’ve broken down all the elements of what it takes to write a biz email.
do check out alok’s ppt on the same topic!

my fav part is the WHY EMAIL ETIQUETTE… so many conversations go wrong because the voice/tone/facial expression is missing – that’s what i call classic email misunderstanding!
i would also like to add a point – while writing to someone for the first time, or replying that person’s email – do a linkedin check on the person to find out age/designation/background etc etc – it really helps!!
ps: my emails go in complete lower case. it’s my signature style. and people are very forgiving (knock wood!)
