Question:
This email is poorly written. Read the weaknesses I have listed and what is needed for improvement. Weaknesses:
Fails to provide a meaningful subject line.
Does not open directly with a statement summarizing the message or with the most important question.
Buries the call to action at the end of the first paragraph instead of at the end of the message where readers expect to find it.
Reduces readability by failing to list concise questions in bulleted form.
Suffers from wordiness and imprecision throughout.
What you need to do:
Subject line: Summarize the content of the message
Opening: Open directly by stating the main idea concisely in a full sentence or question.
Body: Provide background data and explain the main idea. List major questions in parallel form to improve readability.
Closing: Request a specific action with an end date.
