Subject Lines:
It is important to use meaningful subject lines when writing an email. It needs to be meaningful for yourself as well the person receiving the letter. It is important to be specific; broad terms or statements should be avoided. The recipient wants to know what they will be reading in that email. Recipients decide whether or not to open an email based on the subject.

Capital Letters:
You should never write a sentence in all capital letters when writing an email. This seems like you are yelling at the recipient and you may receive a negative response. Not using capitalization at all comes across as lazy. For example, if you do not capitalize the word "I". Sticking to standard grammar is a good idea.

Attachments:
Sending attachments is not forbidden, but they should be avoided. People may become annoyed if they have to open long attachments every time they read your emails. Also keep in mind that if you send attachments you should have a virus scanner. Recipients will not be very happy if they open your attachment that contains a virus.
