Forwarding an E-Mail Chain

When you forward a chain of E-Mails to someone, add a note of explanation before the series of forwarded messages. Do not expect them to burrow through your E-Mail and read every linked message if you just forward them without any explanation. Take the time to explain your reasoning or what you want you to focus on. It is then easier for the person to whom you are you sending the e-mail to respond to the question at hand rather than be puzzled about what exactly you require or expect.

Towards More Meaningful E-Mail Forwards

Forwarded E-Mails are a fact of life. I am sure all of us receive at least a couple of forwarded E-Mails everyday. It is one thing to receive meaningful and interesting E-Mails that are profitable and convey something that you really did not know about. It is another matter when you receive stale, obscure jokes and links that are just plain annoying.

If you are forwarding any E-Mail or links, make sure that you indicate why you are forwarding it to them and how you think that it could be profitable and of use to them. In an instant, the recipient knows that you care about their time and will appreciate the fact that you yourself took time to think about their requirement and interests. It is definitely a way to further your relationship with the recipient.

Do Not Forward Hoaxes

I get a lot of hoaxes in my inbox. It is easy to identify one. Any E-Mail which claims to offer you easy money or for that matter free money, or a chain E-Mail (E-Mails that guarantee disaster if you do not forward it to all the people you know or care about), it’s most certainly a hoax.

DO NOT forward these at any cost. They are annoying and irritating and sends the message that you are vulnerable.

Fowarding A Chain of E-Mails

When you forward a chain of e-mails to someone, add a note of explanation before the series of forwarded messages. Do not expect them to burrow through your e-mail and read every linked message if you just forward them without any explanation. Take the time to explain your reasoning or what you want you to focus on. It is then easier for the person to whom you are you sending the e-mail to respond to the question at hand rather than be puzzled about what exactly you require or expect.

Be Safe When Sending Jokes or Sarcastic E-Mail

Sending jokes or sarcastic e-mail to people you are not too familiar with could create unpleasantness, when the other person is offended by or misunderstands your jokes or sarcasm. In general, avoid sending such e-mail to people you do not know very well.

Use your address book. It is there for a reason! Create a group and add only people you know very well to this group. If you really have that urge to forward or send a joke to a friend, just send them to this group alone.
