Vanman and Ted.
Thank you both for reading my blog and contributing with good comments.
1. Pause before you re-read and press send
2. Put a thank you in the email.

Great advices from both of you!

Cheers, and thank you.

With a military background I find I do this more often than ever in the past because it was more acceptable. However I must say simply following basic format on emails with a “thank you” at the end of the message softens the edge.

I can definitely relate to this; more than once I’ve sent a strongly worded email on the spur of the moment and then regretted it soon after, when I’ve calmed down. Its definitely worth pausing and taking a few moments to think everything through before risking saying things you don’t really mean!
