Writing E-mail

Recently, i read a book named "Academic Writing for Graduate Students". There is an Appendix about how to write E-mail, and the topic is interesting. I extract some paragraph that is useful to me:

Studies of politeness suggest three elements for polite requests
  1. Do not impose
  2. Give options
  3. Make the receiver feel good
Some Common Acronyms
  • AKA = also known as
  • ASAP =as soon as possible
  • BTW = by the way
  • FYI = for your information
  • IMHO = in my humble opinion
  • IMO = in my opinion
  • LOL = laughing out loud
  • WRT = with respect to
