![Prompt: Create a cartoon-style infographic summarizing this table one slide on tips for email. My objectives are:
1. Show humans in cartoon form
2. Make the font fun and engaging
3. Be creative in connecting the ‘what’ to the ‘why’
# What Why (keeping reader in mind)
1. Deliberate why you’re writing and to whom Inform or influence. Else don’t add to reader’s work load!
2. Give a descriptive subject title and change it when needed Reader should know what’s in the email without opening it
3. Write a clear opening sentence (main idea) Reader should know what follows without reading further
4. Say what specifically you want, from whom, by when and if relevant, why Reader should have no doubt about what’s required from them by when
5. When your input will add no value, don’t weigh in Duh! [Don’t add to reader’s workload]
6. Keep it clear and keep it short Reader should find your email easy to understand and unambiguously clear
7. Consider talking (in person or by phone) instead of emailing In some situations or at some point in an exchange, email can be inefficient for both reader and sender
8. If attachments are needed, minimize the number and format them well Reader, not you, should have to exert minimum effort to navigate everything
9. Reply every email addressed to you or where your action is needed (unless it’s spam or an unsolicited pitch) How do you like being ignored?
10. Avoid the blind copy (bcc) Let’s nurture a transparent, honest, open culture!
11. Use a thoughtfully worded out-of-office message Reader should know your period of absence and have options on what to do till you return
12. Proof-read before sending Reader may think you‘re sloppy, therefore think poorly of your email and perhaps give it less attention](https://cdn.openart.ai/published/U8oeUS5FP90lAtspm0zh/aCLcdj5E_DK_w_512.webp)
