The main topics will be for these types of reports but the main philosophy is general.

action after reading an email? How long do you spend deciphering (sökme,
yorumlama) your text books?

Example #1Hey Tom,
I can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks since you sent this e-mail. I intend to respond to you each morning, and I am back to getting in by 6:30 or 7:15 most mornings, but ... you know how busy it gets. I want to get the 8 o'clock train tonight, because the next one doesn’t leave until 10pm. I am going to see Kemal Wednesday night (he has a short stay in U.S. with regard to visiting Citi bank on-site, the client he his supporting on an offshore project). So I just wanted to ask you if you could be more specific in what you want to know about "offshore" financials. He'll provide me with the info you are interested in.
Regards,Angelo

Example #2
Tom,
In order to help you better, please explain in more detail what you mean by “offshore financials.” Are you looking for financial statements or for salary levels?

Pretend you are the reader and ask: What is the point? What action am I supposed to take?
If the answers aren’t immediately obvious (apaçık), your message may just be ignored!

Organizing for the reader’s benefitThe first section summarizes key “take aways”: Make your point early Request responses up front For long emails:
Write a summary Create headings (başlık) for each major
section.

Get to the point #2
The same example rewritten so that the main point is clear.
Dear Personnel Director:
Please verify the employment of Mrs. Karen Krane? She was a data entry clerk in your Ohio office… (fill in the details)

Avoid explosions Do not wait until the
end of the day to introduce a problem.
Avoid writing a list of concerns (şikayet) that you have been thinking about for a long period of time.

Avoid explosions Strongly worded emails
can create more conflict (anlaşmazlık) than intended
Angry emails give a negative impression
What you say cannot be taken back
When possible, call or meet in person instead

Use active and passive voice appropriately Active places blame (suçlamak):
“You are past due on your registration payment.” Passive is less confrontational (çatışmacı):
“Your registration payment is past due.”
