Reading this chapter reminded me of how I handled external and internal mail for the engineering department I worked in for many years. I don’t remember having any formal mail-handling training; I just used common sense, which happens to follow the practices listed. I even remember using routing slips. In my present job, 95 percent of all correspondences are e-mail. I try to respond to all e-mails in a timely manner.
This chapter has helped me to understand the importance of handling mail. I currently handle all incoming and outgoing mail. It's very important to make sure that the Attorney and Legal Assistant receives the mail in a timely manner, sorting the priority first.
I used to handle external and internal mails only for my boss and not for the company. The chapter has taught me how to handle the company's mails properly, to sort, review, and present the mail.
I remember that there was a woman who handled all incoming mail from customers, advertisers, and interoffice memos. Her desk may seem like a mess, but it was an organized mess. She divided all the mails into four separate piles; Important, Considered Important, Interoffice Communications, and Unimportant. Just by looking at the envelope, she knew exactly where it goes without opening them.
