Just a tip for you people in business...get to the point when you are sending emails. True execs and successful people dont write novels to ask a question of someone or respond to a request. Keep it brief.


And don't forget...get tested.

Are you insinuating that my verbal utterances are unduly complex? While freely admitting a leaning towards loquaciousness, I must nevertheless protest.

I just told my buddy, Hugh Jiftrue, this advice. He is skeptical but recognizes its potential impact.

Sometimes you want to have things explained in text so you don't get the same question a thousand times...

So we should avoid adjectives, like we should say wordy emails rather than unnecessarily wordy, since that is sort of implied. and maybe avoid extra punctuation when a simple comma will do?

I suspect this is why the OP get such wordy e-mails. And stop with all the periods.

I explain things thoroughly as part of CYA, so that no one can say I didn't tell them. But hey, keep up with your sexy pithy emails. It's your funeral, so.
