职场email必须注意的事4-6

4. Specify Who You Are and Why You Are Writing表明身份及来信理由

This isespecially true if you are writing to the person for the first time. Don't

make thereader guess who the e-mail is from and your purpose in writing

him orher. Confusion is uncomfortable.

如果你是第一次写信给那个人，情况尤其如此。别让那位读者猜测寄信者是谁及其目的为何。因为困惑会让人感到不舒服。

5 Don't Make People Try to ReadYour Mind不要让人去猜测你的想法

If youare vague and imprecise, the results you receive will very likely be

lessthan satisfactory. You can save time and aggravation (on both your

part andthe other's part) by being clear. The results will definitely be better

ifpeople don't have to guess what you want or mean.

若你用词含糊不精确，所收到的结果就很可能会不尽如人意。表达清楚可以省下时间

并避免相互激怒（双方都是如此）。假如人们不必猜测你想要什么或你所指为何，结果

一定会更好

。

6 AvoidLong, Rambling Messages避免冗长含糊的讯息

Yourgoal is to be concise, not impress people with your ability to string

togetherideas. In short, short is good, and long (usually) is bad. If you

havemany points that are not closely linked, think about splitting them up

intodifferent e-mails and sending them separately. Using bullet points also

helps ifa message is long.

你的目标是简洁，而不是将众多想法串在一起来让人钦佩。总之，简短为上策，冗长（通

常）为下策。如果你有很多彼此并非紧密相连的要点，就要考虑将其分成不同的电子邮件

分别寄出。假如讯息很长，使用要点符号同样会有帮助。
