Improper spelling, grammar, and punctuation gives a bad impression of your company and can result in your message not being conveyed correctly.

Emails

Emails with no full stops or commas are difficult to read and can sometimes even change the meaning of the text. And, if your program has a spelling checking option, why not use it?

To ensure this doesn't happen, use Microsoft Outlook Spelling & Grammar Checker on the 'Editor Options' window.
