How I E-mail

When I use e-mail, the strategy I use depends on who I am sending a message to or who sent a message to me. For example when I receive automated e-mails from the school, my strategy is to make a note of whatever information they are giving me, but not respond. On the other hand when I receive e-mails from friends and family I make sure to respond every time. I try to reply with a message that is similar in length to the message that was sent to me. Also, if I am e-mailing someone who I don't personally know like a teacher or fellow student in a study group, I use much more formal writing. I use complete sentences that are grammatically correct and are punctuated well. However if I am writing a friend my writing will be much less formal.

My e-mailing strategy is influenced almost entirely by necessity. I simply reply to what I need to reply to and ignore what I can afford to ignore. I check my e-mail multiple times daily to ensure that I don't miss an important notice from the school or a teacher. I also need to keep in touch with friends in family, so my strategy for e-mailing them is influenced by this necessity as well. My e-mailing strategy is sufficient for the e-mailing that I have to do at this point in my life, but I'm sure it will change as time goes on. I will need to use e-mail for different things and will most likely rely on it much more in the future than I do now.
