The infamous "Flank Speed" email!
For those who may not know, "Flank Speed" is a humorous email that originated in the US Navy and has since become a popular meme. It's a tongue-in-cheek guide on how to write a Navy-style email, with a focus on brevity, clarity, and a dash of humor.
Here's the original email:
Subject: FLANK SPEED
TO: All Hands
FROM: [Your Name]
DATE: [Current Date]
SUBJECT: FLANK SPEED
FLANK SPEED is the maximum speed at which you can write an email and still be understood by the recipient. It is the speed at which you can convey your message without overwhelming the reader with unnecessary details.
FLANK SPEED is not:
- Writing a novel
- Using jargon or technical terms that only you understand
- Including unnecessary attachments or links
- Using all caps or excessive punctuation
FLANK SPEED is:
- Clear and concise language
- A focus on the main point
- A brief summary of the issue or request
- A call to action (if applicable)
FLANK SPEED is not just for emails. It's a way of life. Remember, the goal is to communicate effectively, not to impress with your writing skills.
FLANK SPEED is the Navy way.
