Sažetak

content and style of the e-mail. No less important is knowing the points of detail in writing e-mail. That is, to be clear and concise in the specific information that the e-mail should contain. Furthermore, abbreviations, acronyms and emoticons
are frequently found in e-mail and their use should also be considered. An e-mail is a valuable communication
tool and it is essential to use it effectively in order to improve both professional and private communication.
