We designed this course for businesspeople who use e-mail to communicate with others inside or outside their organizations.
Participants practice using a three-step process that helps them determine whether e-mail is the best way to convey a message. They learn to decide what information readers need and don’t need, and they can then organize and format messages to elicit a quick response.
Using job-relevant examples and activities, the course offers tips and techniques that help writers send e-mails that get results. Writing attention-grabbing subject lines is just one of the challenges the course helps you master.

“Write It Well’s e-mail effectiveness workshops were just what the doctor ordered! The 650 people in our department rely on e-mail to communicate throughout a number of different research labs, hospitals, and clinics. In the workshops, our staff and faculty learned how to use the right tone, get to the point quickly, present a professional image, and avoid legal risks. The workshops were engaging and relevant.”
