lefttopEmail etiquetteintroductory assignmentEmail is an essential form of communication and all students must be able to formulate a proper and professional email that leaves their recipient with a positive impression of the sender and clearly communicates the intended message. Unfortunately, in the age of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and texting, the lines between professional communication and more informal modes of writing have become blurred, and many students are completely unaware that there is such a thing as Email Etiquette. Etiquette: the customary code of polite behaviour in society or among members of a particular profession or group.For this assignment, you are required to formulate and send a proper email to your teacher in order to become familiar with the necessary components of a professional email. This introductory assignment should serve as an example of all future email communication with me or any other person in a professional setting.To ensure that your email makes a good impression keep the following tips in mind:Double check the email addressex. aarlen.storey@sd71.bc.cavs.aarlenstorey@sd71bc.ca Use the subject line and use it wiselyex.
