Dear students,

E-mail is quickly becoming the primary means of communication today. However, do approach e-mails with the same professionalism as a hardcopy letter. On the other side of this tipsheet we have gone over some of the important matters that you should consider when communicating through email.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
