Correspondence:
1)The Phone Call
2)Text Messages
3)Email
4)Snail Mail

Isn't it great to have options?!

1) The phone call: BE MINDFUL OF THE OTHER person by asking, after you've identified yourself:
"Is this a good time for you?" OR
"Do you have a quick minute?"
OR shoot off a quick text to ask if it's a good time to call

Don't stay on the phone excessively, especially if it's in the wee hours in the night/morning.

2) Text messages--be mindful of others' plans, ask if they are on an unlimited plan.

Don't send too many text messages from work.

Voice messages: Identify yourself and leave your number right away and again at the end.


A gentleman knows how to use the phone.

3)Email: Be creative, be brief, be artful, connect with your virtual connection to your art and music inside of you; things of beauty.

Thoughtfulness is what gentlemen are all about.

Don't use little abbreviations like LOL, ROFL, etc.

Don't EVER EVER use profanity

Don't use the little happy faces emoticons

Don't send an excessive amount of emails; be mindful of your recipient.

Learn to spell and use proper grammar, click the spellcheck.

Acknowledge all emails right away.

Be mindful that all the questions are answered.

Use a new paragraph.

Don't have run-on sentences.

Don't forward chain letters or off-colored jokes. EVER. Humor in poor taste is unbecoming of a gentleman.

4)Snail mail

Use fine stationery.

Handwrite your correspondence.

Don't put confetti in the letter.

So true, should be common sense but everyone abuses these at one time or another. I know it bugs me when someone just says hi, and you don't know who it is.

(I generally prefer my carrier pigeon Dave, he's very expedient)

Good Evening, I'm good about phone educate. But, thanks for the email advice. As I recollect of past emails from my special lady. I have come to realize my bad manors. We need more classy women like you on youtube. Thank you for taking the time to share this valuable information.
