Email is something that is used extremely frequently in today’s business world. It seems as if email etiquette though was not taught to everyone. Luckily I took a class that actually had lessons where we learned to write emails correctly. One of my favorite replies I got from a question I asked follows:

My email: Does this mean the file from reserve was processed successfully?
Response: Please.

Please? What does that mean; it is a "yes or no" question. I never replied back to the email above and just took my best guess that “Please” must have meant yes. Time and time again I get email responses that appear as if the user did not even read my email, because there answer has nothing to do with what I am asking. Now I understand misspelling sometimes, not attaching docs, and other common mistakes, but if you are going to respond, please make your answer somewhat understandable. Thanks.
