Subject in Emails:

A newspaper headline has two functions: It grabs your attention and it tells you what the article is about, so that you can decide if you want to read further. Email subject lines need to do exactly the same thing. For example:

Subject: Reminder of 10am Meeting Sched. 10/05 on PASS Process.

Hi Jim,

I just wanted to remind you about the meeting we have scheduled for Monday, October 5, at 10:00am. It's being held in conference room A, and we'll be discussing the new PASS Process.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch (x3024).

Best Wishes,

Mark

 This is a good example of a subject heading because the reader does not even have to open the whole email most of the information is in that one line called Subject. This is a example of a Good subject.

A bad example of a subject would be:

Subject: Meeting

Hi Jim,

I just wanted to remind you about the meeting we have scheduled next week. Do let me know if you have any questions!

Best wishes,

Mark

This is a bad example because there is not much information about the email and when you do not have much information then it becomes a spam email.
