Bullet points
Let's be realistic: people today are busy. Just because you have something to say, doesn't mean they're committed to hearing or reading it.
I love bullet points:
* Anything that's easily forwarded in an email format (sure, color and bold are nice, but will they remain as your message is forwarded to others?)
* Skim-able: If someone can skim your message and still understand your key points, you're in.
* Poetry and deep prose are indeed beautiful, but they may detract from your message.
* Long paragraphs make it easy to get lost.
It all boils down to this: make it easy for busy, distracted individuals to receive your message.
