The topic of unwanted forwarded emails is one which I get contacted about almost daily. “Please advise a nice way of asking them to stop forwarding me all those [jokes, political commentary, feel good, chain] e-mails.” Everyone knows a nice way — saying please, thank you, appreciate your understanding type comments will always work.
However, what these folks instinctively know is that by making that request, someone may get hurt feelings. And 9 out of 10 times that is exactly what happens. Habitual forwarders actually think they are being thoughtful when in fact they are reflecting the epitome of lack of consideration for those they send to.
No matter how “nice” you are, no matter how kind and gentle you may be in making such a request, there are those that will get hurt feelings or even react viscerally because they will think you are telling them what to do. So, to help folks out, I’ve written an article that one can send these type of onliners who feel that what they want to do supersedes what those they send to may prefer:
How do I ask someone to stop forwarding me all those silly e-mails?
Use the “Tell a Friend” feature at the top right of the above page to send a message to the out of control forwarders you would like to inform or the “Share” feature at the bottom of the page to email or add to your favorite social sites. HTH!
