I will add these that I've had to learn through experience: 1. After you write the email, go back and check: Did you say hi or hello and call the person by name? Did you ask them how they are or wish them a great week/weekend? Did you thank them or tell them you are looking forward to their next email? 2. Err on the side of too much information. I tend to make assumptions about a client's knowledge level. It pays to explain things as clearly as possible without being condescending. 3. Jump at the chance to speak with a client via phone if that's what they want. I hate the phone and prefer email, but my client's comfort level comes first. I agree that these are great tips.

I feel one of the most underrated skills in the business world is writing effective, terse, and yet promising emails. Email etiquette is never taught in school, and at times it is the toughest thing to figure out. There have been numerous times where I have sat in my chair staring at the computer screen, trying to figure out the right words and style that illustrate the tone and urgency that I want to to give. In universities, we are sometimes taught how to write a business proposal, or how to write a grant. However, Email writing, although a simple and universally used tool, is still the most underrated and sometimes most difficulty things to write in getting potential clients or funders' attention. http://freelancecamp.org Great Article.
