Email Etiquette tip: Personalize the message

This practice could be the easiest and most effective etiquette practice. By incorporating the person’s first name in to the body of the e-mail, you will go a long way in showing respect. A simple greeting—for instance, “Dear Donna,” Good morning, Harry,” or “It was nice to hear from you, Pat” —can show great e-mail etiquette in a matter of seconds.

Remember, everyone loves to hear (or see) their name.
