    Great toondoo! Listing the steps like you did above can be used as a checklist before hitting SEND on that e-mail. Great topic and I enjoyed the toondoo.

    Bryan, I think people take this topic too lightly too often! We have gotten caught up in the "slang of our generation" and have forgotten the manners of proper writing forms. I admit, I often slack off when writing e-mail too, but it is something I am working on because I don't want to look unprofessional in the business world.
