Stephen Leahy says that the recipients only have 50% chance to understand the right tone of any e-mail messages. I fully agree with this statement because when I go to write an email I hear it in my own voice, my tone is portrayed how I expect it to be. I have a hard time with emails because I never feel like I get an accurate point across. Which i feel like happens to a lot of people.
