Mary Beery’s ideas about etiquette in Manners Made Easy are, well, out-of-date. However, as we discussed in class on Monday, the idea of etiquette and audience-appropriateness lives on. If you were to update Chapter 14- Social Correspondence–Your Letters Reflect You– What would you say?
Your assignment is to write an amendment to Beery’s chapter of correspondence called Email. If you are not sure what to recommend, consider the AACU Written Communication Value Rubric (located in Class notes 1/14/13). Also, try writing in Mary Beery’s style, just for fun. Submit your amendment as a comment to this post.

Email is the new letter. It is the go-to for business correspondence, and other applications where letter have been used. Email has supplanted letters primarily due to the speed of transmission, and while email has essentially replaced letter writing the etiquette carried over. It is essential to include specific pieces of information in your email such as the subject line. Just as memos have subjects so do emails; the subject should be a short description of what the email contains.It is still important to greet the reader by name just as you would in a letter, therefore all emails should start along the lines of: Dear recipient–; or, –. The semicolon is used formally in business, although the comma is far more popular. After you have address the recipient you must write the body of your email. It is recommended to keep your email focused on a central topic, just as you would in any other writing. Also be sure you are aware of whom you are speaking to, you wouldn’t want to talk to your boss, like you would a sibling! Spelling, grammatical, or logical errors are utterly out of place in an email, and it is your job to eliminate them prior to pressing the send key. Be sure to check for the usage of words because you may mean to tell you reader” i want a wall hung boiler in the house” when by accident you proclaim “I want a well hung boiler in the house.” Once the body is complete, sign the email just as you would a letter. It is important to include a salutation, and type your name as if you were signing it.
1) You have to make an appropriate subject title that shows the reader what they will be reading.
2) Start out the email by simply saying “hello” or “Dear So and So”. Remember, happy emails=happy readers.
3) Delve on into whatever it is you are emailing about.
4) Make sure you stay professional with your grammar and spelling.
5) Have fun with the email, it is imperative that you enjoy the workings of the 21st century.
How to Write an Email:
First choose an appropriate subject to talk about. Make it something simple and uncomplicated. Your subject should not be cluttering your subject box.
Second start your email. Put Dear or Hello to properly address your audience. Then add a comma and press enter on your keyboard. Afterwards state your name or business.
Third at the end of your email restate your business so that the email is clear. Then re-look over the email to make sure your grammar is proper and that you are polite. Be sure to be sincere and professional, even if you aren’t familiar with the person.
Fourth sign your name and write have a great day.
Fifth press send so that your email can be sent to the person you have addressed your email to.
How to write or format an email

5) Then progress to write out the email with no or as few grammar and spelling mistakes.
6) End with a from or sincerely or really any way you would like to sign off with.

It’s funny that these rules match the method I’ve been given to teach people how to pray.
1) Address the one to whom you’re praying in an appropriate way. e.g. ‘Dear loving Creator who gives all good things’ or ‘Cursed God who always makes me suffer’
2) Ask for what you want. ‘Give joy to our hearts.’ or ‘Put me out of my misery.’
3) Offer hope or gratitude in conclusion.
e.g. ‘I ask this in the name of the God who always gives.’ or ‘I know you have the power to end this suffering.’
Maybe there’s some basic and universal form to one-way communication in hope of a response?
