REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE
• Even though you may be interacting with a
computer screen, you are communicating with a real
person who will react to your message.
• Make a good impression - treat others with the same
respect that you would like to receive and avoid
confrontational or offensive language.

is sometimes acceptable to include appropriate
emoticon symbols, such as a smiley face :)
However, for professional communications these
would be inappropriate.

terminology, spelling, and grammar that can easily
be understood.

phrases by: using italic or bold text; using a different
color for text or background color; or denoting
emphasis using special characters.

helpful to use phrases that identify to whose
point of view you are referring. If the opinion
is yours, you can begin with the phrase “In my

viewpoint of someone else, make sure you
identify that in your message

• Example: “According to Eric Ericson,” or “The

president believes”.
