[quote=Anonymous]I find it very rude and I hate emails without some form of greeting. To me emails between colleagues or clients or employers / employees are not like texts to family / friends at all. Emails without greetings implies a familiarity and comfort level that isn't there. The emails often come across as demands / orders/ rude. We used to teach at a college and we taught the students email etiquette as an email consisting only of 'when's the exam' isn't going to get a response or leave a good impression. You also shouldn't use text speak and abbreviations in emails. Basic courtesy is expected. In academics, everyone uses salutations to communicate. As others have said, once you get into a back and forth it becomes less formal but we definitely use greetings and signatures. Same in my current job.[/quote]
