We receive so much email everyday that emails usually don't feel urgent, and instead come packaged with the idea the recipient can reply whenever he/she has a chance. But if you're looking for a quick turnaround, productivity blog Stepcase Lifehack recommends you start with a deadline.
Creating a deadline removes the risk of the email going into the procrastination folder and keeps it near the top of their project pile. Skip the small talk and throw a deadline in the first sentence?for example, "Attached, please see the draft of the Tuesday meeting notes, please reply with changes by 9 a.m. Monday." Be clear about the deadline and the expected turn-around and don't waste their time with anything else.
