I think tone often is important for larger companies, but a number of smaller companies I’ve for actually seem to prefer a friendlier tone. I work for a large company now and I could see if a much more colloquial phrasing for a Halloween party originally used in the email, but not for an important change. Versus other companies I’ve worked for preferring closeness over professionalism. I suppose finding tone is a matter of finding the climate of the company.
Just my $.02.
This is a great video. However, since we are correcting errors here, it is important to correct all the errors found in the email. For example, we have "In future" which should be "In the future".
I agree with this video presentation because it explains email mechanics, style and tone. When communicating especially electronically, it is important to set the tone of communication so as to get the desired feeling that we want the words to create.
I always make sure I check for errors before I send
its very useful video thanks for sharing
I totally agree. For one, I think email writing also has its basics. Gotta review my email writing.
Don’t hit ‘send’ just yet. You have a missing article to insert. It should read "in THE future". Beyond that, well done. Clean, simple content and narrated slowly for ESL learners.

Very good way to make e-mail users aware of how critical it is to construct and review e-mails when communicating. Electronic information sharing is often misused due to lack of face-to-face interaction. As outlined in the ESL Business Writing Video, reviewing, identifying the mechanics, setting the tone and creating proper style are equally important when writing an e-mail or any form of communication.

This video is very useful to me. Unfortunately, I encounter this issue on a regular basis. A major portion of my daily activities involves communication via email. By using these tips and methods, you should be able to more effectively communicate with others in a clear and concise manner.
This vidoe definelty emphasized the way in which emails can so quikcly be mis interpreted and cause mis communication amongst the receivers of the email.

I’m really happy to see these lessons are out there. It is very important to take care when writing e-mail, especially to your colleagues. Your peers and supervisors in your office will view you by your ability to communicate by writing. As my high school English teacher once said, "Spelling always counts!" And so do style and mechanics. Especially in the business world!

This video shows the importance to keep messages simple and easy to understand. You don’t want to communicate just communicate. Sending messages that are meaningful to team members and stakeholders that are clear and concise will take the sender of the information a long way. Sending meaningful messages that can be understood is to be able to communicate the message. Messages that are grammatically incorrect, reduces the sender’s credibility.

This video teaches a lot of important things about writing business emails. Style is very important. Thanks for posting this video.
I can’t thank you enough for posting this video. E-mail is definitely an important communication tool not only for project managers but for EVERYONE. Having a clear and concise e-mail demonstrates:
• comprehension of subject matter(s)
• understanding of grammatical rules
Overall, proofreading and editing should be ones bestfriend when sending an e-mail. Without these two tools your e-mail is bound to be misunderstood.
GREAT POST
PMAN 638 – Tim. This video is very informative. It’s strange how most organizations do not off training on email and so one would never know these basic tips. The information shared on the importance of the Subject line accuracy, impact of the greetings and good grammer are solid.
