In today's era of instant communication, many professionals dash off e-mail messages packed with sloppy mistakes,
poor grammar, abbreviated "text message" style acronyms and word fragments — all of which contribute to a less-than-professional image.
If your attitude is It's just an e-mail, so it doesn't have to be perfect, you could be doing serious damage
to your credibility, your professional image, even your future!
Your written communication is a reflection of your professionalism, your organization's image, and your business
sense and style. A poorly worded, grammatically incorrect e-mail may deter others from doing business with you ... cause
