Great post & resource on e-mails.

Notice the supply chain related emails…On avg, professionals spend 28% of their workday just reading & writing emails, which amounts to an unbelievable 2.6 hours & 120 messages received every day (in SCM it’s way more).
Will Email Stand The Test Of Time?

HEY College Students: Do not begin an email message with “Hey” & always finish it with “Thank you.” Most college students do the bulk of their electronic communication via text messaging. Standards for emailing are different, especially in professional settings. Students’ emails WILL 100% influence the way others (potential employers) view them.

From a student: “Hey, sorry that I was a little late on my HW. My inbox is flooded with emails, and I didn’t see this. My apologies.” Note, this excuse in the supply chain could shut down an OEM customer that will charge you $22K/minute.
