Use words you would use in speaking instead of rare or ancient words. Nowadays we need to be as direct as we can. For example, instead of using \u201cat the present time\u201d, use \u201cnow\u201d or \u201ccurrently\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>3. The subject line is of utmost importance. Your e-mails will be more effective if you give a hint of what you want in the subject line.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>4. Use bullet points or numbers when you want to organize information in a list instead of writing a whole paragraph. Again, we don\u2019t have time to waste.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>5. Check your grammar after you\u2019ve written your e-mail. There\u2019s nothing worse than to see \u201cyour\u201d instead of \u201cyou\u2019re\u201d or \u201ctheir\u201d instead of \u201cthey\u2019re\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>6.
