12. Here are some notes for students on e-mail. Translate them into Russian

• 
  Think carefully about who you are writting to and what they might be thinking. Impressions are important because you probably want agreement and action!
  
• 
  Think carefully about your purpose for writing before you start and organise your ideas, just as you would when writing a letter.
  
• 
  Adapt your style of writing according to who you are writing to.
  
• 
  Beware of humour. Although writing an e-mail might feel like chatting over the telephone, a written joke is very different from its spoken equivalent.
  
• 
  Consider who else might read your message. Since parts of your message can easily be copied and conveyed to other people using e-mail, check that you would be happy for other people to read what you have written before sending off your message.
  
• 
  If you are sending something important, follow up with a fax and/or a letter because some people may not read their e-mail regularly!
  
• 
  Keep track of e-mail in the same way as you would any other form of written correspondence, printing out and filing copies if this seems useful.
