I am not joking about this over-flirting nonsense on email. Take three examples from emails that arrived today:
1. 'thanks and much love from Susie' (first email from London pr I've never met)
2. 'you can't miss this chance for a great story, but I know you'll want to use it. Lunchtime treat with me buying if you do! Soniaxxxxxxxxx (constant email style from pr I have not met, but am inundated by
3. Make sure you are home by 6. R. (my wife.... hold on a minute, this should be slushy!!)
Am I alone feeling courted by strange women and neglected by partner on email?

It's a new way of communicating, and so we don't have to be and shouln't feel restricted by the norms of 'Dear Sir' and 'Yours sincerely'. Lighten up! And re. your wife, that's YOUR problem, not email!

I disagree with LK and know what you mean. Here's a literal copy and paste of one I received today from a lady touting for business:
"Thank you sooooOOOooo much for sorting this out for us.
love Rae."
