Tales from the Coal Face - The late night greeting

2012-05-21T07:49:3501:00:00

Many years ago, when I was working for a media company in London, I would dial-up the office system in the evening. (This was in the days when 2400 baud was fast!). One evening I noticed one of the directors of the company was connected and emailed him the message "Good Evening Mr Director Sir".

The following day, I met him in the office and he complemented me on my message - he was working with a client on a rush job and the client was very impressed by the respectful message.

So when you email, be respectful to the recipient as you never know who else will get to read it.
