Here's the latest tech tip from Crye-Leike Information Technology....
- Turn off the Caps Lock.
TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS YELLING AT SOMEONE (and it's hard to read).
- Type a Subject Line.
A descriptive one-liner to summarize the content and grab attention.
- Include an Email Signature.
Your contact info with the message (phone, fax, mailing and web addresses)
- Watch the Acronyms.
LOL is it "Life of Loan" or "Laughing out Loud"?
- Avoid Sarcasm.
Tone is easily misinterpreted in email.
- Check Spelling.
Chec wiht a profesionnal. Doesn't look very professional. Turn on auto run.
- Keep it to the Point.
Keep your message concise. Short. Easy and quick to read.
- Limit Attachments.
Watch file sizes. Large files take a long time to download and fill up mailboxes.
- Respond Promptly.
Don't make them wonder if you are checking your email.
- Don't Forward Hoaxes & Chains.
You will not get a million dollars after forwarding to 7 of your friends.
Check for legitimacy on a story with snopes.com or on a virus with symantec.com.
