Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your Japanese business students are turning in their projects to you by e-mail, and you’re struck by how many of them just attach the file and don’t send a polite message with it. You decide to lecture them on business e-mail etiquette during your next class. After you introduce the topic for the day, you ask your students in Japanese, “How would you feel if I just sent you today’s assignment without any kind of accompanying text in an e-mail?” Your students sit silently. You continue in Japanese, “How would you react to that? Would that make you feel like I cared about you as my students or cared about your work?” Still silence. You decide to press on, and you tell them in Japanese, “Well, I can tell you how that makes me feel. Not so great! Keep in mind who’s grading your papers, and please address me and anyone else you send e-mail to with a polite greeting and closing as a bare minimum! We’re going to spend the next few minutes talking about how to draft a proper business e-mail since that skill seems lost on you.”
