Communication Tip Tuesday

Composing E-mails

**This message is sent to all Oneida Staff. **

Welcome to another edition of Communication Tip Tuesday!

This week, we're diving into the world of email formatting. Emails are such a crucial part of our daily communication, and getting the format right can make all the difference in how our messages are received.

Greeting: Start with a friendly "Hi [Name]," “Shekoli [Name]”, “Good morning/afternoon”, etc.

Body: Keep it simple, friendly and to the point. Check for grammar and spelling errors. It’s always a good idea to read what you wrote before sending to help minimize mistakes and miscommunication.

Closing: End with a friendly note and a prompt for action:

"Thanks for your help!"

"Looking forward to your thoughts."

"Let me know if you need anything else."

Signature: Ensure your staff signature is set up. If you haven’t already, check out
