Dear Mr/Miss/Sir/Madam/Other beings/GOD
I am really pissed of about all the email signatures. I think email signatures are important and needed but can we not do the following:
A. FONT SIZE TOO BIG
I have one friend (OK he between a good contact and a friend) who puts his name in font size 20. We know you are proud of your name, but when your name overshadows your email then there is a problem. It is like you are compensating for some shortfall.
B. SENT FROM MY iPHONE/BLACKBERRY
I do not need to know which PDA/Mobile device you have. You have an iPhone...great...what do you want me to do? Throw you a parade or party. So you have a crack...I mean blackberry. Wonderful, either you are so important or they cannot stand you in the office and make you work from home. I think it is the later
C. LOGO
So you have a company logo. You are single handily responsible for filling everyone mailbox around the world and slowing down the net traffic. You are proud of your company how about a link to your company's website. Geez was that too hard to think?
D. LEGAL GARBAGE
This is my pet peeve. I am OK with one or two lines of legal bullshit at the bottom of the email. But some emails that freaking 5 to 10 lines. I am not sure if I should even open the email, with the fear of getting sued.
Here is novel thought...how about making the reader focus on the body of the email and not be scared/intimidated/irritated by your signature
Thanks you
Regards
