Dear Managerial Staff,

I am writing this note asking for your help and advice to address the problem of excessive e-mail. Your ideas will help in the development of a plan that will benefit our organization and staff. Please answer the questions below, as I will be presenting your responses in our upcoming committee meeting on May 10 and would like your responses by May 5.


 * Can you give an approximate figure for how many e-mail messages you receive and answer on a personal basis each day?
 * Approximately how many hours would you estimate the staff members in your department spend on e-mail each day?
 * Do you have any ideas about how we can make a reduction in the volume of e-mail messages being sent and received within our own organization?
 * Do you think that e-mail is being used by our employees in an excessive manner?
 * What do you think about an e-mail-free day once a week?

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I hope your suggestions will help develop a solution and improve productivity in our organization.

Stella
