The Mellotron Group

Hello Martin,
 
I'm in the States and have been communicating with our finance groups in
China, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, India, Germany and UK.
Without exception, all business communication is polite, on point, and
complete.  Many times I think this is because English is the second
language, but business is conducted differently and courtesy is part of
it.
 
Business communication I typically receive from the States is terse and
bottom line.  This will piss people off, but I think the age of the
writer has something to do with it.  If born 1965 or before, manners,
born later, I WANT IT NOW!
 
Don't indict us all in the States, however, some young and old still
have manners.  Fire away.
 
Regards,
 
John

	Dear All,
	
	
	I recieved this message:
	
	
	<<What is the dollar value of the Mellotron mkII #***?  I may be
interested in purchasing it.>>
	
	
	That's it.  Where are the common courtesies of hello, please and
thankyou?  I am fucking well fed up with the lack of manners in emails,
sadly eminating from the USA in almost every instance.  People want our
help but can't couch it with any grace or politeness.  This perso n can
get well and truly stuffed.  So, to my esteemed US friends, what do you
think?
	
	
	Best,
	
	
	Martin
