No matter how many hours you spend on email, according to Indeed.com, there are certain rules that we should abide by to reflect email etiquette. What are those rules you ask?
​

1. Include a clear subject line
   Show your recipient clearly what the email will cover. Many people will decide whether they will open an email depending on the subject line.
   
2. Be cautious with “Reply All”
   The benefit of using “Reply all” is that you can respond to everyone at once to let them know an issue has been addressed. However, when in doubt, use “Reply” to avoid inundating a list of people with unnecessary emails.

3. Use a professional greeting
