Emotions - Don't send an email if you are upset, take a cooling off period and re-read

or acronym is acceptable depending on the context of the email, as long as they are
not overused.
Spelling Counts - Words should be spelled correctly. Academic settings require
academic language. When in doubt look it up in a dictionary.

manners.
Attachments - Don’t open attachments from unknown emails. They can
