OK, we've talked... we've talked... about how to write a better email message. Now let's move on to making sure that it reads well and has all the information that you need.

• Always complete the Subject line so the recipient knows what the message is about. ‘Hi!' is not usually enough!

• End your email with a signature. Include your company name, job title, and contact details. You can make this appear automatically on every email.
