Business E-mails

Earlier, the credibility of e-mails as a medium of business communication was underestimated but now the use of e-mails has become very popular and organizations treat print-outs of these e-mails as evidence of communication. Still considered quite informal in nature, e-mails actually speed-up the whole process and industries especially related to IT and Media make extensive use of this electronic communication.

Mistakes while making Introductions

Being a Spoken English faculty and a Soft Skills Trainer, I come across a plethora of people.
Different people INTRODUCE themselves differently.

But some errors just creep in every time....

The most glaring one being:
Myself Mr.ABC,...

Please understand that we should not use "myself" for introductions. The better way out is "I am.."
Again, we never address ourselves as "Mr./Ms". We introduce ourselves with just our name.

so,
I am Namrata Arora.....

would sound a proper introduction than

Myself Miss Namrata Arora...
