You do bring up a very valid point though. I know it is the internet and these messages are just emails to a guy on a message board. However, some of them are a little too relaxed. First point, any professional communication needs to have complete words and not text message abbreviations. While I am a laid back guy, I get a kick out of some of the emails I get. Some are literally, "hey dude, can I get those notes frm u, thx." Notice the lack of any capitalization or sentence structure.

I give pretty much anyone the benefit of the doubt that you do not write anything to the company in that manner. However, now may be a good time to brush up on the professional writing techniques.

As always though I will still get the notes out to those who want them. May as well dole out the professional writing advice as well. I received a few more requests tonight and will get to them as soon as I can.
