EMAIL 26. Hide a Message Send a “hidden message” in your email using the first letter of each paragraph. Mention it at the bottom or bold each letter if 1 you want people to know to look for it. 27. Offer an Outline Add an outline to the top of long emails. Include reading times for each section (you can calculate this based on the average 2 reading speed of 250 words-per-minute). 28. Leave with a Joke Add a bad joke at the end of an email as a reward for reading through to the end. One of my favorites: “I changed the color of my email program to red so I can always have a rosy Outlook.” 29. Anoint Yourself Add a unique title for yourself when “signing” your name. — Sincerely, Drew the Email Conqueror 1 Did you notice the first letter of each of the ways on this page? ¿Que paso, ahora? 2 I learned this from the Humor Power Newsletter: htww.co/humorpower. 27
