The way we express our thoughts affects the impression that others have about us. This statement is also relevant when it comes to letters that we send by email. Studies have shown that people perceive the content of the message, depending on what gender the author belongs to. What mistakes should a woman not make during correspondence by e-mail?
Take out the extra words
“Actually,” “simply,” - these and similar words have no place in the email. When a woman uses them, it may seem to her interlocutor that she apologizes for something, trying to protect herself.
When a lady inserts the phrase "really" in her letter, the addressee can also decide that she is not completely sincere with him or does not know how to express her thoughts. It will seem to him that in reality it implies something else.
Do not undermine your authority
A woman makes a mistake when in her letter she mentions that she is not well versed in the topic. “I am not an expert in this” - a phrase that automatically reduces the significance of everything that follows it.
No one will listen to the words of the author of the message, admitting to his incompetence. Instead, ask your interlocutor what opinion he holds.
Don't look for meaning
“Does all this make sense” is a phrase that is not uncommon to find at the end of an email. When a woman uses it, she expresses doubt that the interlocutor is able to understand her. She refuses the addressee in the mind that she cannot but cause resentment in him.
Do not send emails containing similar questions. It is better to express hope at the end of the letter for an early reply.
Do not apologize
Many ladies make the same mistake - they start an e-mail with the word “sorry”. This tells the addressee that the woman is not self-confident. The author of such a letter allegedly expresses doubt that his words deserve attention.
You need to apologize only when you have made a mistake, offended some person and regret it. In all other cases, it is worth starting a conversation with other words.
Do not get involved in exclamation marks
Letters full of exclamation marks are very difficult to read. Often they interfere with penetrating the true meaning of the message. Use a minimum of exclamation points or completely abandon them. This is especially true when it comes to business correspondence.
Do not write long letters
The ability to briefly and clearly express your thoughts is extremely valuable. Many people do not even read long letters to the end. Before sending text, remove all unnecessary from it.
