Communicating through computer-based messaging systems is becoming an increasingly valuable means to do business in the contemporary markets. The first e-mail was sent by Ray Tomlinson and since then it developed rapidly all over the world. In 1994, Laurence Canter and his wife Martha Siegel sent advertisements to some news groups they can find through the e-mails. Even though the earliest marketing e-mails started as junk e-mails they had a great influence on the business world.
The business e-mail as a new method for people to do business is being recognized by more and more people. It is important not only in the native speaker’s countries but also in non-native speaker’s countries because of the overwhelming globalization. The fact that English is used so extensively in the global business yields quite a surprising result. It means that written business English will ultimately be directed more at a non-native English audience than at a native English audience. Under this circumstance, people are anxious to find ways to make their e-mails more attractive and practical.
