Precise subject line: Mostly people send emails without adding the subject of mail, despite a box allotted for this purpose.

Most readers don’t even bother to read emails without a subject line as they consider it a waste of time and energy. The sender must put a suitable and precise subject for text.

Those email addresses which don’t have an authentic or formal ID are often not considered important by the recipient. It results in total or partial ignorance of message sent. A recipient must adopt professional Email address.

This way professional reputation is being affected.

Especially lengthy Email messages must be punctuated even with more care as it is impossible for readers to get the required message in case punctuation marks and spacing is not properly put in the message. Punctuation marks should be suitably used to present message more effectively

This absence of nonverbal communication creates a huge misunderstanding in case Email messages are exchanged between members belonging to different cultures. While writing an Email for another culture recipient, do care about cultural concerns and adapt your message accordingly.
