Perhaps this has happened to you. You are sending an out-of-the-blue email to someone you would like to introduce yourself to or ask something of. You work diligently on the email, read it over several times, maybe even wait a day, and then send it. Shortly after you hit the send button, you realize that your email was too long, you gave more information than needed and probably scared/numbed the recipient away. Shortly after I sent one of those I came across the Email Charter.
