** From: ** Stella Soto  ** Subject: ** E-Mail Problems ** Cc:  ** **Bcc:** Dear Managers, I am writing this note to ask for your help and advice in addressing the problem of excessive e-mail. Answering the questions below, will assist us in the development of a plan that should benefit everyone, and improve our organization. To help prepare for our supervisory committee meeting on May 10th, submit your responses in writing by May 5th. E-mail serves as a great big productivity tool, however I’m afraid that its use is becoming extremely excessive and cutting into work time. The average office worker spends two hours a day on e-mail, our organization appears to be spending even more. Excessive e-mail is depleting the organization’s strength and productivity. It has become exceedingly difficult to get any work done due to answering an extraordinary number of e-mails coming in daily. To help focus on the problem, your answers to the following questions are greatly appreciated: I appreciate your suggestions and advice in developing a solution to the problem and making an improvement in productivity. Best regards, Stella Soto
