Let’s say, your boss called you into his office to talk about an important task or project. And if you make this project a success, you could be promoted. Instead of paying attention to what your boss is saying, you play with your pen, you stare out of the window, and don’t give any response to the questions your boss is asking.

Implausible, right?

If you behaved like that probably you’d be fired.

But you don’t do this — you don’t ignore your boss when he’s talking to you (because you can’t afford to ignore him/her).

The same principle applies in email writing. You must show care for readers — your boss when they read your content.

In this era of texting conversation, email is still the most popular mean of communication in business and corporate world.

The average professional receives around 92 emails each day. But a survey conducted by Sendmail found that email has caused tension, confusion, and resentment for 64% of working professionals.

If you wrote an email which has grammatical errors and flaws and still you want that your recipient read (and reply) that email — then only send it to your mother or best friend.
