Students think that since they are e-mailing classmates or friends, they do not need to be as formal as they would when e-mailing a professor. I find it hard to take e-mails with spelling mistakes or no subject line seriously even if they are from friends. College students need to be reminded of these e-mail etiquette tips as well, because as many of us are graduating soon, the college e-mail style cannot be carried over to the business world. I think that the best tip on the list is number one, “make the subject line catch the eye of the reader.” When I write professional e-mails, the subject line is sometimes the hardest part to write because it is so important to catch the reader’s attention.
