Overview: As with all written communications, emails should be clear and concise. Sentences should be kept short and to the point. This starts with the email's subject line. Use the subject line to inform the receiver of exactly what the email is about. Keep in mind, the subject line should offer a short summary of the email and allows for just a few words. Because everyone gets emails they do not want (spam, etc.), appropriate use of the subject line increases the chances the email will be read and not discarded into the deleted email file without so much as a glance.
