  INTRODUCTION
There has a revolution in the manner and method of communication in the last few decades. The internet 
has made instantaneous communication a part of everyday life. Writing and posting letters is no longer 
a viable option. The most common and preferred method of informal and formal communication in 
the modern world, is the Email (electronic mail). An email can be used as an inter-oce or internal 
written communication tool or it can be sent to someone outside the company or institution However, 
there are dierences in language and style used in an informal, semi- formal and formal mail.
Informal mails: They are sent to friends and relatives. There are no rules to be followed. You can use a 
casual/ informal language (slangs/ abbreviations can be used). No particular style of writing is required to 
be followed. However, the purpose of the mail and message should be clear to the recipient.
Semi- Formal mails: These are addressed to colleagues functioning within a team and at the same 
seniority level. The Email can be brief and the language can be casual and friendly. But maintaining 
decorum is essential and the purpose of the mail and message should be clear to the recipient/ 
recipients.

can be utilized to highlight certain points but should be used judiciously.
13. Highlight/ underline the key points so that the reader can skim through the mail and get an idea of 
the content.
14. Take special care of the tone of the mail. Since all you write goes on record, make sure that your tone 
is pleasant and reects truly what you wish to state.
15. Ensure you are polite at all times whatever the provocation.
16. Proof read your mail before you send it. Check for grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors.

Besides, errors may change the meaning of the mail.
17. When framing a reply to a received mail, ensure you answer the queries or requests in it.

Emails are eective means of communication when:
1. You need to send information to, or contact a large group of people.
2. You wish to send someone an electronic le, bulky documents or detailed information about any 
project/ course/ product.
3. It also makes it easier to contact people who are otherwise not approachable due to distances, busy 
schedules, diering time zones etc.
4. You require daily communication on varied matters in an organization.
5. You need a written record of the communication. It is imperative that important e-mails are saved 
for reference to what someone said in an earlier message, to provide proof (for example, proof that you 
have sent the Jeans consignment and have received a conrmation of the same), or review the content 
of an important meeting, deadline, memo.
Emails are inappropriate means of communication when:
1. If the issue is complicated and involves repeated lengthy discussions, it is better to arrange a 
meeting with the concerned person/ party.
2. The information is condential and of sensitive nature. Your mail can be forwarded to others without 
your knowledge. All your electronic communication is stored in the server even after you have deleted 
it. This can be accessed and misused by anyone.
3. Do not write a mail when you are emotional--distressed, upset, overjoyed or excited about something. 
You may use words which can alter the tone of the message and this can be misunderstood by the 
recipient. Besides, do not write anything in a mail which you cannot say to a person in a face-to-face 
conversation.
