Lydia Ramsey suggests your mail is as much a part of your professional image as the clothes you wear, the greeting on your voicemail and the handshake you offer. To build positive business relationships, pay attention to your e-mail and steer clear of these top twelve e-mail mistakes:
1. Omitting the subject line
2. Not making your subject line meaningful
3. Failing to change the header to correspond with the subject
4. Not personalizing your message to the recipient
5. Not accounting for tone
6. Forgetting to check for spelling and grammar
7. Writing a novel
8. Forwarding e-mail without permission
9. Thinking that no one else will ever see your e-mail
10. Leaving off your signature
11. Expecting an instant response
12. Completing the “To” line first
