Composing better emails
If you want to compose better emails, forget formatting.<p>- practice making emails short. Write, then rewrite to 50% of original length, then try to make it even shorter.<p>- make the request a separate paragraph (request = what you want the other person to do)<p>- if your email is an attempt to persuade someone, don't bother. Go talk to them. Email will cause you problems in your career if you keep that up. It's unsuitable as a means of discussion (same as Slack and any other written medium). The only reason to do that is if you can't get the other party on the phone/in person (which is almost never the case).
