Reverse E-mails

Ever sent out a half-baked e-mail? You know, one you haven't even finished proofing yet? We all have, and it is because we are in such a hurry that we hit theSENDbutton prematurely.

Let's all try crafting our e-mails inREVERSEfrom now on!

REVERSE? I've been doing this technique for a couple of years (notEVERYtime, part-time, imperfectly). But it took grammar guruDan Santowto capture the technique so artfully.

It goes like this:

-write the body of your e-mail first

-fill in the subject line second

-add the recipients third (an e-mail can't be sent without this info)

Simple, painless, and so very helpful in saving our reputations and time.
