E-Mail Etiquette

In your e-mails to me, I ask that you explain why you are e-mailing me in the box indicated "Subject." When you e-mail me, the professor, I ask that you use appropriate speech. This is a composition course, I will not refer to emails with no indication of clear grammar and punctuation (e.g. if you send me an email like the one listed below, I will respond by asking you to clarify in proper discourse. Tech-speak will not be acknowledged.)

Hi Ms. Chastain,

I am a student in your English 100 course. I have a question in response to my blog. Do you need the email address for my blog. I am not certain what you need.

Thank you,

John Doe
