When it comes to my team, I allow for a more relaxed and friendly tone, fostering a
collaborative environment. There are, how-ever, some rules of mine which I mostly
abide to:

​

• Reply within 24 hrs (even if a holding response).

 

• I will normally not respond to a work-related e-mail starting with “Hi” – it is unprofessional.
   

• Do not start an e-mail with “I hope this e-mail finds you well”...

 

• Remember emails can have a long life, so be mindful of what you send.
   

• Check for spelling and grammar mistakes - even if sending e-mail on a more casual/personal level.
   

• Do not Reply All, unless you really have to.
