Dear Domme
On most days I receive a lot of email (right now there are 472 unread emails in my inbox that have arrived over the past three or four days). Most of the communications I receive are well written, respectful, and a pleasure to read. There are some individuals, however, who seem to be less than skilled at writing to someone in a respectful manner. I don't think this is an intended rudeness so I try not to get bent out of shape about it. I do think that those who are trying to impress a Domme with their initial contact might wish to take note of a few points. Consider beginning your email with a salutation. "Dear Lady Whoever." I know some might not do this because they are uncertain how to address the Domme. I think you probably can't go wrong by addressing her by her publicly used name or pseudonym. It's always ok to ask, "how should I address you?"
Keep your initial email brief and to the point. It's a little disconcerting to receive a massively long email from someone I've never heard from before. Later on if she chooses to continue communicating, lengthier communications are probably acceptable.
End your email with a respectful closure. "Sincerely, John D." I really dislike writing back to someone and having no idea how to address them. The writer doesn't have to give his real name, but it's nice to provide at least a pseudonym.
In re-reading this before I press "publish post", I realized that this may sound a little picky. Perhaps it is, but I can't imagine that I'm the only Lady who feels this way :) In the world of electronic communication, your typed words are a representation of you. If you're wishing to impress, it's always a good idea to put your best foot forward.
I wonder if the other Ladies who read this blog feel the same?

This is why I do not accept email from boys I do not know. You are much more tolerant than I would be.
I most certainly agree. And if you're sending a message through 360, they should be certain they are accepting e-mails via 360 as well. It's so frustrating to become intrigued by someone's e-mail or want to answer a question only to find there's no way to communicate back.
You asked, I answered ;)

How do you feel about people addressing you as Mistress?
Thank you for this suggestion Lady Julia. I never thought about how this could be perceived as rudeness.
MsBec I've experienced just that problem with 360 messages. It is indeed very frustrating.
Rose, I try to be understanding and open with people I don't know. We all come from such varied places and it would be a shame to miss a diamond in the rough because I was too quick to judge. After all, if one utilizes the right techniques, most men are quite easy to train ;)
Sid, I do not like to be addressed as Mistress by anyone that I haven't asked to use that honorific. It's a very special term to me.
