Economic1 Email is very fast and effective, but there are areas where it is preferable to use letters, e.g. personal, confidential, or legal correspondence. 2 Email addresses usually give the name of the person or department, then the @ (at) symbol, followed by the name of the company or institution, and finally the domain names, which indicate the type of organization and the country from which the message was sent. 3 The language of emails can be quite informal, but if you do not know the recipient well, it is better to keep to the usual writing conventions. You can become more informal as you establish a working relationship. 4 It is possible to use special abbreviations, e.g. tlas and emoticons, but do not confuse your recipient by using abbreviations he or she may not know or understand.
