If you find yourself sending similar answers to many people, write a draft message and save it in your drafts folder (or write it in
7、 Word). You can use this standard response for emailing many people. Dont forget to personalize it by adding their names. Having a signature looks professional and saves typing the same information. Remember people may wish to contact you through other ways. So make sure you have a phone number and
8、address in your email. If relevant, add any qualifications and websites that you have. This gives people a chance to find out more about you.

37、an be very satisfying to say， “Well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “I know Im late， but its not my fault； the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault， but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation， you are a loser.
