Things to Remember!

Dates, Grammar, and Punctuation

Dates are very important part in composing an email. To start, ensure about the dates when you are composing messages. Being unsure about the dates might lead the recipient to miss due dates, meetings, or other important things. 01/03, for instance, might be taken as January 3^rd by a few and March 1^st by others. Try to write the months name to reduce confusion and make it clearer. Wrong dates can ruin everything. So always give right dates and also double check the dates later when you are finished.

Punctuation in the e-mail also plays a vital role. Proper punctuation in the e-mail makes reading easy for reader. With the punctuation symbol like question mark, reader gets the idea that you are asking question.
