Common Email Mistakes

Useful Tips
- Always Use a Signature: A signature with your contact information and position helps the recipient remember who you are.
- Avoid Attachments: If possible, avoid attachments as they can be cumbersome and may not be supported by all email clients.
- Follow Up: If you don't receive a response within a reasonable timeframe, it's appropriate to send a polite follow-up email.
