Paragraph: Read the following two e-mail messages. In three to five sentences, explain why E-mail B is the more appropriate workplace e-mail. Remember to consider netiquette guidelines in your response.

E-mail A:

DUDE! You totally shorted me on my paycheck! I seriously am upset. It is majorly less
than it shold be. I totally worked overtime last pay period!!!! YOU NEED TO FIX THIS RIGHT AWAY. I am going shopping this weekend and i need my cash.

E-mail B:

When I got my paycheck, I noticed that it was less than I expected. It looks like I did not receive overtime pay for the extra hours I worked last pay period. Can you please review this and let me know how I can get this corrected?

Answer 1

E-mail B is the more appropriate workplace e-mail because it is polite, clear, and professional. Unlike E-mail A, it uses proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. E-mail B also avoids using slang and disrespectful language. It clearly states the issue and request in a calm and respectful manner, demonstrating the use of netiquette guidelines.
