1) Use e-mail only when it’s
the most efficient channel
for your need.

2) Keep printed copies of e-mail
you’ve sent as well as e-mail sent to
you.

3) Send nothing over e-mail
that must be error-free.

4) Never delete names from
your address book.

5) Never forward chain e-mail.

6) Never send e-mail when you’re
furious or exhausted.

7) Don’t pass on rumor or
innuendo about real people.

8) Nor should you do so about
companies you work for or
may work for one day.

9) Never substitute e-mail for a
necessary face-to-face meeting.

10) Remember this hierarchy:
first the meeting, then the
phone call, then the voice mail,
then the e-mail.

REMEMBER E-MAIL IS NOT A SECURE FORM OF COMMUNICATION
