Hi Kirti
Useful tips. But I am confused by disclaimer point!!
Add disclaimers to your emails: It is important to add disclaimers to your internal and external mails, since this can help protect your company from liability
Everyone uses it but how does it help?!
These disclaimer like 'This e-mail message and attachment are confidential and are for the exclusive use of this intended recipient(s). If you are not the recipient, please do not read, distribute or take any action upon this message. If you have received it in error, please return email and promptly delete this message.' etc.
If some one gets an official mail by mistake then following can happen.
1. info she/he can use... If someone gets an info that is useful for her/him. she/he would be stupid to not read and use that info... if this doesn't happen then I am living in some other world!
2. Info useless for her/him... Definitely, useless.
3. She/he gets offended... You can not stop her/him to take up the issue however good or legally accurate your disclaimer is!!... and if this doesn't happen then obviously mail is not offensive enough!
4. She/he gets amused... recipient will love your company.
and I strongly feel that it is a herd mentality of using a general disclaimer in an email. Unless these disclaimer are as specific as by a bank or stock market agent saying the rates quoted in this mail may change by the time you read it!
