3. Advantages and disadvantages of writing emails

Advantages

1) Emails can be sent 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

2) Emails can be sent to one person or several people.

3) Webmail means emails can be sent and received from any computer,

anywhere in the world, that has an internet connection

4) Cheap - when using broadband, each email sent is effectively free. Dial-up

users are charged at local call rates but it only takes a few seconds (for

conventional email, eg text only) to send an email.

Disadvantages
 1) The recipient needs access to the internet to receive email.

2) Viruses are easily spread via email attachments (most email providers scan

emails for viruses on your behalf)

3) Phishing - sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be a legitimate

company to scam the user into providing information, such as personal

information and bank account numbers on a bogus website. The details

will then be used for identity theft.

4) Spam - unsolicited email, ie junk mail.

4. Please create/write a letter by considering all the elements needed
