Subject: Contact for Training Trips Funding

Dear Sarah,
I would like to be involved with a training trip however I do not have a contact for the person involved with funding the trip. Do either of you by any chance know the person in charge of funding for the training trips, if so could you please send me his contact information?


Sincerely,
Bill


Subject: In order to be most efficient in the work place all users are required to have relevant subject lines for their emails. Relevant subjects will benefit all within the company. The subject line should summarize the information in the message. If you are planning to discuss several topics plan on sending separate emails for the different topics. Sending one email for each topic will be valuable in the future for the sender and receiver, as it will be easier to find the email based on the subject's relevance. Lastly if you expect a reply please indicate a response in requested, be direct in order to be effective.

Email Punctuation: When composing an email take the time to make sure you use proper grammar. When writing an email to a co-worker or client it is vital that you portray that you are a knowledgeable professional. Avoid using all capital letters the overuse of exclamation marks and question marks. Do not use slang when composing a business email, it can be considered unprofessional to the recipent.

Attacbments: When opening attachments be sure to only download trustable items. Nowadays you may recieve an email from a friend or colleague, if the content seems irrelevant it may be that the sender's email account was compromised. Some viruses attack email contacts, the virus could have automatically sent out the virus to everyone in the address book. As you can see computer viruses can get out of control very fast. In an effort to avoid this we request that you do not open forwards that are not work related while on the company's network. One virus from an email could lead to our entire network crashing.
