Subject: Be very precise and clear while writing a subject of the email remembering if the reader does not find it considerable enough, he/she will definitely not takes the pain to read the whole matter, however it may be important. An inbox is filled with the dozens of messages. An appropriate subject increases the reading probability among the recipients of email and also decides that how much concern the reader will render to the message.

Appearance: Human being is a visual being. He likes the look of the food; he wants to have it, although decider here is the tongue. Exactly! Looks do matter. Inappropriate font style, clownish adjustment of paragraph, and disarrangement in the content type like bold or underlined matter speak volumes about the writer as well as the importance of the content.

Promotional texts include "free," "prize," "money," "win" "profit," etc.

Attachments and other extravagance: Attachments should be precisely named reflecting its purpose and details in the most righteous manner. "Reply all" and "cc" is the common phenomena of email message which should be used wisely. To avoid breach of trust, "BCC" should be used, which will help to hiding your private and important email contacts.
