The better we write, the less apt that is to happen, but it's possible in any situation. Chris,

Yes, people interpreting your words differently than you intended them can be a problem with email or any form of written communication. The better we write, the less apt that is to happen, but it’s possible in any situation.

What often is not realised is just how destructive a badly worded email can be to a business relationship. While I prefer direct or telephone based contact with my customers, for many of us that is not always possible. This is a useful article because it high lights some key things a lot of people do wrong. I would add you need to be aware that people put their own interruption on your written words.

As you have experienced, it's powerful to call people by their own name instead of a generic title. Michael,

I had several friends who supported our ministry, and were thinking to quit supporting it. Then all the people from our ministry gathered, signed an email of Christmas greetings and sent it to them using each person's name instead of "dear brothers". I tell you that worked, they continued their support (Praise God!) and we've been writing ever since referring ONLY their personal names. I think that's a great point. Thanks for the post and God bless! It’s been only few weeks that I have come to know that taking a bit more time and “making message appear more personal” works like a charm!
