Achieve the Appropriate Tone in your Email Messages
Are your email messages too casual? Or, are they too formal? Are you using the appropriate tone?
Email messages are different from typed letters. You can’t be “too” formal in a letter. In an email, too formal looks silly. What’s the appropriate tone for an email? — slightly more casual than a letter. Yet, there’s a fine line between being too relaxed and too stiff.
To some degree, the attitude and culture of your company will dictate the amount of formality necessary. For example, floral shops and hotels won’t be as formal as a bank or law firm.
