If it's a simple email with PO and files to translate/proofread maybe twice. On the other hand, if the email contains complicated instructions I might read it several times. | | |

Not long ago I noticed one of my direct clients restructuring a draft offer according to the Minto pyramid principle, which I used long ago (as a first-year student), but forgot. | | |
