Writing Activity: Effective Emails

Completion requirements
Make a submission
In a paragraph (50–100 words), review the subject lines of emails you have received. What made them effective or ineffective? What role does a subject line play? In a second paragraph, critically examine the formatting of several of the emails you have received or sent. Do they meet the standard of using line breaks or whitespace and being concise (under three paragraphs)? Why is formatting key in emails? How does save time for both the sender and the reader?
