They missed by far the most important one:
I just wanted to confirm from our meeting just now, did you want me to (some crazy shit that could cause problems)?
(and DO NOT do any of the crazy shit until you have the email confirming it)

I’d say this is more like how to email effectively. If you want to email like a boss, you need to master the subtle art of the one-word email.

As a human person, when a human person is on the other end, I do my best to be kind, empathetic, forgiving, and accommodating.
When some asshole wants to try and swing his dick around in an email, my instinct is “fuck that guy”

How do you even start? I’m regularly stumbling on the form of address for unfamiliar people in a business context, especially when it’s hard to infer their gender by name.
Dear Sir or Madam
To whom it may concern

Good morning, afternoon, etc is a fine neutral opening
