Netiquette

1. Be Clear
• The subject line or your email should match the purpose of the text.
2. Don't Send Right Away
• When you write an email, save it and read it later.
• Emotions can't be seen through a computer screen, so your tone may be misconstrewed.
3. Keep it Simple
• People won't read an email if it is full of long, bulky paragraphs.
• Use bolded font to highlight key points/things the reader should remember.
• Use numbered or bulleted lists for information. It's easy to read, brief, and to the point.
4. Research
• Know what you are talking about, and when using references, cite them not only for your own protection, but also so others can use that information.
5. Stay on Topic
• If an email has a million different talking points, audience might get confused.
6. Use Proper Grammar
• Don't use internet slang. "LMAO" and "WTF" have no place in a professional setting. 
• Stay formal.
7. Keep your Cool
• Sometimes email makes it easy to be angry and say angry things when someone has upset you or hasn't been doing their job.
• Because they aren't right in front of you, it might make it easier to have an angrier tone.
• Keep your head, because emails can easily be forwarded.
8. Network Safety
• Always make sure emails only include "need to know" information.
• Because you can never ensure complete network security, top secret information shouldn't be included in an email.
