Lesson 9
38. Writing an e-mail38.1 What structure?
MADE approach. Message Action Details (apply the 5W2H principle: What, Where, When, Why, Who, How, How much?) Evidence (optional enclosures and attachments)
The MADE approach is direct: it begins with the core of the message, creating a context andrationale for action and problem solving. Following this approach will help the writer avoid thecommon pitfalls of many e-mails, as characterised by:
rambling, not getting to the point inadequate exposition of background circumstances inadequate definition of a problem inadequate definition of the actual and expected roles of receiver inadequate provision of supporting material.

38.2 Editing e-mail
Word processor (Word, Open Office, Pages) Print Proofread
38.2 Layout, Appearance and Fonts
Limit the use of fonts to the basic three: Courier, Times New Roman or Arial. Bear in mind that your readers may not able to open and read your e-mail as you sent it
depending on their own software functionality.
38.3 Layout and appearance + Attention/subject lines
Try to include the most important information in the subject line. Dozens of incoming messages vs your message.
Remember limitations of most e-mail package inbox displays. Reduce your subject line to 5or 6 words Bear in mind spam-hunting software. Subject lines with sexual matters, some financial
matters, and use of exclamation marks may be targeted by the software.
38.4 Choosing the best subject line
Uninformative Informative
Meeting Team 4 Special meeting, Thursday 6 June

38.5 Paragraphing, white spaces, numbering, and bulleting
Avoid squeezing content into one screen. Readers are more likely to scroll down a message that is clearly laid out than to read and
absorb information that is cramped and uninviting. Use paragraphing to separate key concepts, leaving a line space between them. Point list can also help.

Avoid very long messages Attachments allow you to send additional information Avoid sending attachments heavier than 2 MB

38.8 E-mail: problems and opportunities
E-mails helps to break down barriers in communication based on position. Its fast Many people are more likely to ignore an e-mail than they would a letter or a paper memo.
Some e-mail users will write things that they would never say in a face-to-face conversation. Dont write anything that you would not want to appear in a newspaper or to be quoted in acourt law.
38.9 Your career as an e-mail guru
Try to spend a few minutes a day simply familiarising yourself with the features of your e-mail program.
Even if you only know 20 % of what your program can do, you are way ahead of most users,you will be able to achieve much more in your use of e-mail, your productivity will increase,and you will become known as a software guru and that can be bad for your career!
38.10 E-mail jargon
bcc (blind carbon copy): copy of an e-mail sent to someone else without the knowledge ofthe primary recipient.
cc (carbon copy): copy on an e-mail (carbon copy is a legacy from the days of thetypewriters).
38.11 E-mail writing exercise
Open the last three e-mails you sent. Do they follow the MADE (Message, Action, Details,
Evidence) formula? How effective/ineffective are they because of that? Rewrite one of the e-mails you just opened using the MADE formula.
