Trying to read Felix’s introductory example email frustrated me. The random approach in this email obstructed my comprehension. In contrast, his simple tips for writing emails demonstrated clarity. His principles all seem obvious, yet we all experience trying to wade through wordy, cluttered emails daily. And we may have contributed to other peoples’ frustration too. After reading this powerful little handbook, you will want your emails to be simple and effective, adding value to the dialogue. The most valuable principle is #1 to Craft Insightful Subject Lines. The Subject Line should serve as a To-Do List, easy to skim through and file or action. Other principles like clear action requests, context, who to include, and when to exclude are all outlined. He also explains how to create scannable emails, how to use bullet points, the importance of layout, and various reply options.
