Netiquette in E-mail Communication
Read the following e-mail sent in a business environment:
DATE: March 3, 2011

SUBJECT: Everyone
Why does everything have to be sent overnight? No one uses regular mail. Shipping costs are sky high, and I’m wondering why you think that everything needs to be sent by overnight mail. Do they really need the stuff that quick? If you would just plan a little more carefully, instead of waiting to the last minute, I’m sure we could save some money! Sending an e-mail is even cheaper and you are not the one paying the bill. Have any of you thought of using the receiver’s FedEx number? If someone really wants to receive a letter or package fast, let him pay for it. THAT COULD SAVE US A BUNDLE!
