3.  Always ask if the other person has time to chat first - regardless of how important you think what you have to say is, it’s not going to be well received if the recipient is busy.
4.  In a business environment, know exactly what you want to discuss.
5.  Typing your messages in uppercase is extremely rude - it’s considered shouting and very aggressive.
