Write important message on top: Always try to
put your important message on top, so the reader can read it and can answer it
first. Start with the main idea and try to include the date and time. If topic
of yours E-mail is changed, then change the subject of e-mail. Use heading and
bullets to highlight the points. Try to include s effective subject line (Oyedotun,
