A short email writing course for all who are just starting to write email. If you scored less, you may take the course over free within a week. E-mail travels over the Internet usually over a series of telephone wires and computer networks. Email is just one of the services of the Internet.
Email is written on one computer, then sent to be read on another computer nearby or far away.
Ordinary mail, also called snail-mail, takes days to be delivered, email can be sent even across an ocean in minutes. Email has all the advantages and disadvantages of letter writing, and then it has some of its own. Since email goes so fast, people are not as careful and thus may send poorly written messages, messages with many mistakes, and messages that may hurt the recipient.
