Let's cut to the chase in emails

Hi, This is my first post here. Like most of you here, I get a lot of emails. Most of these emails are long, but their essence will just be in one or two sentences. This happens a lot with updates from services that I have subscribed to. Banks, Financial institutions etc. Also, email conversations from multiple participants develops the same characteristics. After 10 conversations there's just no way you can quickly figure out what's going on.

So I believe that such emails can be summarised, so that users can act on them real fast. Just cut to the chase, leave the embellishments out. Might help marketing companies increase their CTR on emails. Here is an explainer video.

    Instead of your very long post you could have written:

    Write shorter emails.
    or perhaps more accurately

    Please watch my spam video.
    You are right! Short and to the point works!
