that the Court will need to know so that it can answer
your e-mail?

less than one pages; and
(b) limiting each e-mail to one topic;
the Court is more likely to be able
to process your e-mail quickly.

clear? Read your e-mail carefully before you send it and
look for meanings that be misinterpreted or misunderstood.
4. Did you write your entire e-mail
in capital letters? Please do not use only capital letters
as this makes your e-mail hard to read.
5. Did you add a subject line to your
e-mail? If you add a subject line to your e-mail it helps
to immediately identify the topic of your message.
6. Is using e-mail the best way to
send your message? Remember that you can always contact
the Court by telephone, facsimile or post. These methods
may be more appropriate depending on the nature of your
inquiry and your specific requirements. Sending an e-mail
message over the Internet may not be secure, if you have
any security concerns then you should use the alternative
methods of contacting the Court.

(such as bolding). Graphics and excessive formatting can
affect the performance of the electronic mail service.
