Thank you for taking the time to send me an email. I sincerely appreciate it and wanted to explain to you why my email to you is so brief.
I receive a great deal of email every day and answer every email I get personally. When you take the time to email me, I want to give you the respect and courtesy of a personal and timely response. While I wish I could always respond with a lengthy reply, in an effort to be more efficient, I have set up an email policy that my email responses will be four sentences or less. It’s that simple.
I hope you don’t find it rude, but it is the only way I can provide a personal, timely response to every email I get.
Thank you,
– Stephen Smotherman
