email paralysis

The inability to send or reply to emails in a timely manner, caused either by their overwhelming number, or an individual's own shortcomings that stem from spineless avoidance of interpersonal communication.
My grandmother's email never received a reply; email paralysis left me ineffectual.

nigerian email

A common email scam in which it is claimed that a wealthy foreigner needs your help moving millions of dollars from his homeland to yours and will reward you with a hefty percentage of this fortune if you agree to assist him.
Dear Sir,

I am Barrister philip Adama, a solicitor at law. I am
the personal attorney to Mr. Ralf Rutherford, who used
to work with Shell Development Company in Nigeria.

On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and
their only daughter were involved in a car accident
along sagbama express road. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy here
to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to look for any body who will be willing to assist me
in recovering the fund valued at US$10.5 million left
behind by my client before it gets confisicated or
declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge
amount were deposited.

The said Bank has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account confisicated within
the next twenty one official working days.Since I have

been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over
2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the

next of kin to the deceased hence I have all the
legal document to back you up for the claim, so that
the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.

Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we
shall then discuss on how we can sharing the funds
when it get into your account. I have all necessary
information and legal documents needed to back you up
for claim. All I require from you is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.

IF YOU ARE VERY MUCH READY TO PROCEED with me, THEN
CONTACT ME 0N THIS E-Mail


Best Regards

Barrister philip Adama

CHECK YOU EMAIL

A recommendation to check your email.

The typographical error, "YOU" instead of "YOUR," comes from a well-known email that Bill Urquhart, a name partner of the law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, sent to the employees of his firm. The subject line of his email read: "CHECK YOU EMAILS OFTEN."
We're going to be busy this weekend preparing for trial, so be sure to CHECK YOU EMAIL.

Email terrorist

Somebody who bombards your email inbox with (mostly) unnecessary messages. They are most common at work, since you are unlikely to remain friends with such a person in a social capacity. The volume of emails is such that it detracts focus from the key tasks you are looking to undertake whilst on your PC.
Dan: Jees, where's my report already?
Dave: I'm trying, man, but I can't focus. It's Sarah Braun, she's such an email terrorist.

email volley

When you have a back-and-forth email "conversation" with someone, and each of you keeps adding to the quoted thread with new information. The email go back and forth like a long-lasting volly during a volleyball game.
"We finally straightened out our misunderstading with an email volley. Of course, if I had just called her, we could have done it in a few seconds."

echo emails

When you receive copies of emails that you previously received because those people who were cc'd on the original sends them to you thinking you never received the first one.
Very annoying as it needlessly floods your inbox.
Damn, I have 49 emails in my inbox but luckily it looks like many of them are simply echo emails.
