Q: About Email Content - How It's Different From A Conversation or Meeting

In a conversation, there is some minimum of shared context. This means that you might be in the same physical location as the person you are talking to, so this creates a common purpose or sense of comfort to talk with the other person. Even on the phone, you share a context with the other person because you have, at minimum, commonality of time; you're both talking at the same time of day or night.

When you generate a document for paper, like writing a letter or story, usually there is some context embedded in the medium: the text is in the proceedings of a conference, written on a birthday card, handed to your teacher, or something similar.

With email, you can't assume anything about a sender's location, time, frame of mind, profession, interests, or future value to you. This means, among other things, that you need to be very, very careful about giving your email receivers some context. They have to understand what you are asking or requesting.
