Specific vocabulary
Often, employees use a lot of jargon, complex terms, abbreviations and acronyms in their letters. If possible, all of this should be avoided unless you are completely sure that the recipient also knows this “professional” language.
If you can't get rid of specific vocabulary completely, make footnotes with transcripts or create a dictionary in the app. Otherwise, the recipient will literally decipher the meaning of your message.
It is also worth mentioning the appropriate style here. Overly familiar communication is unacceptable, as well as writing messages in the spirit of personal correspondence. Compare the two sentences:
"Let's meet in room 23 at 4:30 p.m. You need to bring your documents with you, be prepared to stay there until closing time."
"Colleagues, I propose that we meet to discuss the details of the current project. The meeting will be held in room 23 of our company's head office today at 16:30. Please bring with you all documents related to the project. Since there are many issues on the agenda, the meeting may last until 20:00."
The second option is more informative and official.
Delaying the answer
A question that would take half an sweden telegram data hour to resolve in person can be discussed all day long in correspondence. One of the reasons is the long answers of one or both interlocutors.

Imagine that you ask a question to a colleague, and he disappears for half a day. The situation is unpleasant, to put it mildly. Try not to do this. If possible, respond to business letters as quickly as possible. If their flow is large, select those on which important business processes depend, and send responses to them without delay.
Canvases of text
If the message contains a huge canvas of text with long paragraphs or without them at all, it will be difficult for the interlocutor to understand the essence. A modern person does not perceive such texts, so it is important to observe the division.
Stick to the rule: one paragraph - one thought. Then even a long message will be readable.
Grammatical and spelling errors
A business text that is written illiterately reduces the level of trust. Usually, office computers have programs that check the correctness of spelling, but it is better to reread the text yourself.
Use grammar, spelling and online dictionaries if necessary. If it happens that your interlocutor points out a mistake, do not take it to heart. Repeat the corresponding rule of the Russian language once again and remember it for the future.
