Many of us have sent emails and waited forever for a response or reply without getting it. This is disturbing especially if it is a very important mail that requires rapid and immediate feedback.

3. Three to four-word subject lines

The subject is the first thing that you see when you receive an email. Therefore, the subject has to be catchy, punchy and should not be more than three to four words. Simply, ensure that you take maximum advantage of the subject.

4. Ask question

A question is an interesting way to get a quick response to your email. This will strike a conversation between the sender and the receiver.This will definitely make the receiver respond. However, the question should not be more than 2 or 3.

5. Add an opinion
