Vorwort

There is no doubt that e-mail has become the dominant method of communication for people in the workplace. It is keeping us connected to our organisations and bringing us benefits like the ability to communicate over time zones. This TaschenGuide 'E-mails in English' was designed to help you integrate your electronic arsenal more efficiently into your job functions. And although anyone can technically send an e-mail, it tends to get more difficult once it deals with a foreign language. But applying what you read here, will help you create a more productive union between your electronic communication and your inter-national contacts. The paragraphs cover a wide range of business interactions, which are organised into functional sections to provide a quick reference. The material in this TaschenGuide is written to give you the skills you need for effective business e-mails and to build your confidence in a systematic way. It is the authors' hope that you will find in this book encouragement to turn writing into a rewarding activity. Wishing you every success with that. Viel Erfolg dabei wünscht Ihnen Sander Schroevers, ll.m.
