Another in my favourite emails that I receive…
Dear FirstName,
Wouldn’t that be horrible, but for real, there is a person writing this email…
Then why not use my name? If I went up to some random stranger and said – “What’s up FirstName?” – what do you think they would say?
What do you think the response would be?
Even if I was joking (and let’s be honest, “hey buddy”, sounds infinitely better).
The problem with all these mails that I’ve referenced over the past few days is they are so lazy, it’s sad and depressing – just a treasure trove of emails and you take the laziest way.
So long lastname!
