How to pronounce "jargon"

Let's write an email together,

starting with "The Greeting."

Hi and a first name is probably fine.

We're all friends here.

Save "Dear" and using someone's title

for more formal situations,

such as an official briefing or an invitation.

"The Body" of our email,

"Assume that everyone you're communicating with

is smarter than you

and cares more than you

and is busier than you."

No jargon.

No small talk.

You do not have to ask after your recipients health

every time you email them.

There is a correct way to sign off an email.

It is "Best wishes."

"Best" and "All the best"

are also acceptable.

My email-etiquette philosophy

is guided by one fundamental principle:

reducing the burden of email

as much as possible.
