      Bad netiquette Why this is a problem
      1) Copying too many people    People are busy and they don’t need unnecessary emails filling their inbox. This may also be marked as a spam message
      2) No subject Always include a subject line so the audience knows what the email is about
      3) All capitals This looks like the sender is shouting
      4) Slang This is a work email and slang is inappropriate
      5) Not addressed to anyone How will this email get the attention of the correct person if it is not addressed to anybody?
      6) No sign off Email etiquette dictates that we sign off our emails, and it is polite to do so
