How to write an email that gets noticed.

1. 
   

   Write a concise, quickly actionable subject line.

   
   


2. 
   

   Quickly introduce yourself and if appropriate what makes you worth a damn. Or pay a simple - yet well considered compliment.

   
   


3. 
   

   Quickly to the point. Keep it focused.

   
   


4. 
   

   Don't attach anything

   
   


5. 
   

   Proofread. Omg proofread.

   
   


6. 
   

   Make your request of the recipient quickly actionable.

   
   
   
   
   • what do you think of x, vs do you agree with x?
   
   
   • what can you donate, vs can you donate x?
   
   
   • would you like to have a call, vs can I give you a call Tuesday morning?
   
   
   
   


7. 
   

   Design your email so that their response can be as quick and simple as possible.
