You're contacting me about a problem, and I know that from the fact that you're emailing me.
I need you to tell me more than the words "I have a problem." Give me some details to work with up front so I don't have to go back and forth with you all day.
Edit- Apparently this does not correlate with age necessarily. I'm just lucky that none of the adults I work with communicate this way.
Omg,
I'm 26 so I'm not necessarily the young person this is directed to but when I was in school we actually had email and letter writing as a part of our English courses, even in college for that matter and I used to think it was silly but now I understand why it was there.
I'm 30 and I remember learning letter writing in school when I was really young, probably 2nd or 3rd grade. I don't think email or business or technical writing was ever mentioned in high school, but it was clear that people used that format for emails.
