Use Acronyms Sparingly
Not everybody knows every acronym, so use as few as possible, and only when you’re sure the recipient knows what they mean.
There are several acronyms that are commonly used in business email correspondence. Here are a few:
- ASAP: As Soon as Possible
- BTW: By the Way
- EOD: End of Day
- EOM: End of Message (typically used in the subject line to indicate there is no email body to follow)
- EOW: End of Week
- FYI: For Your Information
- IMO: In My Opinion
- OOO: Out of Office
- Y/N: Yes or No
