Why is it that when we receive E-Mails from large organisations there is a threatening message attached to the bottom?
Here is an image of an E-Mail I received when I used to work as a doctor in the Emergency Department:
No doubt this footer was cooked up by a room full of overpaid lawyers and consultants covering their own back.
What type of message are you sending your clients when you send E-Mails like this? If you are sending an E-Mail like this are you building trust and connection? Or is this a way of hiding?
Perhaps it’s an easy way to not take any responsibility for how you come across, what you stand for and what you say…
Here’s a better footer template, which my company uses. No, it’s not cooked up by a bunch of overpaid lawyers, but by someone who actually gives a damn about what he stands for*.
