If you work in a corporate setting, you probably spend a good chunk of your day sending and answering emails.
But has anyone actually taught you how to write a professional email?
Though there are many qualities that go into being a star employee, knowing how to send a proper work email shows your colleagues and potential partners that you're professional and responsible.
Some rules are obvious — don't use profane language, emojis, or unnecessary abbreviations — but you might be making mistakes without realizing it.
"Because of the speed with which they can be created and their lack of formality, many of us make embarrassing little mistakes that can easily cause problems and misunderstandings, waste time, and reflect poorly on our image," wrote Maged Koshty, a Udemy instructor and managing director of an international consulting company.
