Assignment 8.10.12

The CC or Carbon Copy lets people know if they are expected to take actions or if they are just being informed. I t also allows you to make the receiver aware that other people know what is going on.When you send a message to more than one address using the CC field, both the original recipient and all the recipients of the carbon copies see the To: and CC: fields including all the addresses in them. This means that every recipient gets to know the email addresses of all the persons that received your message. While the BCC or the Blind Carbon Copy helps you deal with the problems created by CC. As it is the case with CC, a copy of the message goes to every single email address appearing in the BCC field. The difference is that neither the BCC field itself nor the email addresses in it appear in any of the copies. The only recipient address that will be visible to all recipients is the one in the To: field. So, to keep maximum anonymity you can put your own address in the To: field and use BCC.

Electronic mail, also known as email or e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. As far as I researched, the Email has 7 parts namely; The Recipient Address, CC and BCC, Date and Time Stamp, Subject line, Body, Attachments, and Signature.

There really are rules for us to send a good email. Obeying rules are really important, for us to not be embarrassed whenever we do something. It is needed for us to give 5 rules. One rule is to send your Email to the right person. This is so important. Make absolutely sure, you are sending it to the right person. It is unfortunately too easy, to send an email to the wrong point. A small mistake in sending to wrong person could cost you your job or a relationship.Second,  Use good English. This is needed for us to be understood by the person we have send the email with. Third, Give a proper Title. This makes it easier to keep track and note whether the email is worth reading. Fourth, Keep it short. Just like what my Journalism teacher said, we, as young writers should remember the word KISS; Keep it short but Simple. Emails should be kept brief and to the point. Lastly,  we should keep it Polite. Whatever you do try to be polite and avoid making sarcastic comments. Remember! we should obey these.
