Loving that you've done the flip side of the original post and given examples of PR approaches that you've respected!

I'd wonder though,how many non-inspirational PR's will find this post and then go forward to copy the examples you've given word for word....?

I think the examples you've used are spot on, except my one personal pet peeve - kisses on emails that aren't for/from loved ones! I hate having to reply to them as I never use 'the kiss' on work related emails and it always makes me feel as if I'm being unnecessarily mean.

I also got this email and I responded because I thought it was nice/genuine too! Its amazing what a more personal approach can do. Great post Jane, as always xx

Ailsa, they're not kisses - they're x-ed out names of company and person :)

@Ailsa - I think the "kisses" are just X's to blank out any identifying details.

@BBB It's interesting to see the opposite side, thanks for sharing!

Yes, Ailsa.. those kisses are just blanking out his name.. so sorry - my fault for confusing the issue! X

I got sent this email too! I was terrified that it was spam so have not quite yet replied. Thanks for bring this up Jane! Great useful posts as always. X

Thanks for posting a positive alternative Jane. x

Argh huge fail! I read the kisses in the middle correctly (as blanked out), but honestly thought the ones after 'Thanks again' were the sign of an over eager e-mailer!


Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
