5 Sentences or Less

I came across this website the other day which said all email messages should be 5 sentences or less... We've all received emails that are long... and sometimes longer... But do we read them? According to the link below, there are several reasons why long emails aren't effective:

• It takes too long to read
• It doesn’t respect my time
• You don’t get to the point
• You ask too many questions
• I won’t respond

Hmmm... I wonder how many times I've tried to cram too much into an email... Check out the link, as it also gives some pointers for short, effective emails...
