Writing emails

I agree with the pertinent points about writing E- mails in the link article, like not giving the subject, being too vague and writing too much of irrelevant stuff.

I agree with the article as writing the subject is the most important part of writing a good email. 

All the points mentioned in the list are relevant and applicable to many of the e mail users.

Why can not one write an email as he wants. Should that also be regulated.

e mails are supposed to be crisp and to the point. There are rules for everything. These rules unless adhered to will fail to serve the purpose.. Here the purpose is to convey the message on a quick way without unnecessary and unwanted stuff.

if it is an official email some rules may apply otherwise write an email as one likes.

In fact, you may write email as you like. The link is only to guide how to write effectively. This is specially for job applications and similar matters. If the subject is properly given, half the task is finished. The matter in the mail should also be concise, clear and effective. 

Here I agree with you.

Whatever may be the purpose, an E mail should enable the reader to quickly grasp the content.

Subject speaks a lot. It will reveal the heart of the content and helps us to make an immediate decision whether to open the mail or delete it on its first sight.

Exactly, this article stresses upon writing effectively for official communication using an email. For unofficial ones there are no rules barring that one should be able to communicate the message.

I feel be it for an official use or otherwise, e mails are mainly intended for effective communication in a jiffy. It's possible only by observing a set of DOs and DONTs.. Failure of which may result in disastrous results.

Eg. Sethji Aaj mar gaya. It should have been Sethji Ajmir Gaya.

This is a solid example of typo. But yes proofreading any kind of written document before hitting the send or submit button is advisable.

It all amounts to  carelessness, which is undesirable in the realm of communication.

The world is changing and carelessness is an old world word. Write as u please the msg must go thru. Also it is Ajmer and not Ajmir - shd it b taken seriously.Not at all the msg has gone thru.

Had I written Ajmer, where is the issue? What is the new world word for carelessness? Care a pin?

I agree the spelling Ajmer is incorrectly  writter as Ajmir. But since humans don't read every character in a word hence yes the message has been conveyed. But no matter what we can't overlook such mistakes in an official communication, can we?

Obviously the purpose of writing AJMER as  AJMIR is not understood .

It is very much understood, but even in the corrected sentence you have written it as AJMIR.
