By getting to the point and clearly identifying your purpose, you present a professional image that will be taken seriously by the reader. This also increases the likelihood your email will be read and responded to promptly, as people put off dealing with overly wordy responses. After identifying yourself and your company, your next sentence should explain the email's purpose. It's best to state your case within two sentences. Be positive. Even if you're writing to address a complaint or concern, be courteous and respectful throughout the email. Do not bad mouth bosses, other companies, or employees as this reflects poorly on you. While in cover letters, it's standard to include some basic background information about yourself if you're emailing on behalf of a company leave that information out. Simply state your name and your position in the company before moving on to the email's purpose. A business email should be as easy to read as possible. This means using clear language that is easy to understand. Choose the active voice over the passive voice. For example, do not say, "A memo was sent to you by my boss, James Peterson." Instead say, "My boss, James Peterson, sent you a memo." Avoid jargon and technical terms, even if such terms are used heavily in your company. Opt for simple English and common phrases. Use short sentences. Eliminate conjunctions when possible and break up long sentences. For example, "We did not hear back from you in regards to the memo and wanted to follow up to make sure you understood the information." This would be better stated as, "We did not hear back from you in regards to the memo. We wanted to follow to make sure you understood the information." Use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Spell check and proofread all emails before hitting the send button. There are certain rules of etiquette in regards to what should be transmitted via email. Understand what to avoid sending before contacting someone. Attachments are okay if you're emailing regarding information that was specifically requested, but do not send attachments to strangers without prompting. Avoid overly large attachments and files. In the event sending such information is necessary, send an email beforehand giving the recipient a head's up. Do not use an overly long signature. Ideally, your signature should only include your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number. If you want, it's also appropriate to include your job title. Do not include graphics or backgrounds. They tend to clog up email memory and come off as unprofessional in a business setting.

Get out a medium mixing bowl and measure 1 cup (120 g) of white cornmeal and 3/4 teaspoon of salt into it. Use a whisk or a fork to stir the cornmeal and salt together. Bring 1 cup (236 ml) of water to boil. Slowly pour the water into the bowl of cornmeal while you stir it. Keep stirring the mushy cornmeal. You can heat the water in a pan on the stove or use a water kettle. Slowly pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk into the cornmeal mixture and stir it well. Set the batter aside while you heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Grease the skillet with bacon drippings or shortening. The batter should be pretty thick, since there isn't very much liquid in it. You don't need to heat the milk before you add it. Once the skillet is hot, scoop a spoonful of batter and drop it into the pan. Press down on each johnnycake, so they flatten to 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick. Flip them over with a spatula once they're golden brown on each side. You can probably fry half a dozen johnnycakes at a time. If they begin to stick to the skillet, spread more bacon drippings on the pan. Fry the rest of the New England johnnycakes in batches. Set them on a serving plate and serve them with: Butter Maple syrup Applesauce
