Хорошо продумывайте письма.
Умело, и корректно делитесь плохими и хорошими новостями, обменивайтесь информацией, отвечайте на вопросы, реагируйте на новости из предыдущего письма, справляйтесь о состоянии адресата.
Старайтесь включать информацию, которую бы человек был счастлив получить.
Письмо, посланное по почте и написанное от руки, всегда останется личным, в то время как письмо, посланное по электронной почте, может быть неумышленно препровождено по неверному адресу.
О чём лучше не писать
• Woe-is-me (горе мне!):письмо полное горя, отчаяния, неудач не доставит читателю удовольствия, а, наоборот, испортит настроение и доставит беспокойство.
• Tell-all: нет ничего предосудительного в том, что вы будете изливать свою душу на бумаге, но всё хорошо в меру.
• Gossip:неправильно рассказывать всё, что вы знаете о чьих-либо
испытаниях или злоключениях. Старайтесь себя контролировать.
• Anger:сгоряча сказанные слова стираются из памяти, но всё что написано пером … . Не пишите письма в плохом настроении.
Заканчивайте письмо на положительной ноте.
· Use your first name or nickname on letters to friends or business associates who know you.
