email disclaimer

You know the thing, the lines at the bottom of a big company email...

This email may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information. It is solely for and is confidential for use by the addressee, unauthorised recipients, confidentiality, blah, received it in error, notify, rubarb rubarb, unless expressly stated, contractually binding, whatever, liability, blah, intended recipient, sanctioned, viruses transmitted, blah, blah...

Sorry. Nodded off there for a mo...

So it was a bit of a breath of fresh air to get this today - am sure the lawyers would have a field day with it, but hey.

We have an email policy* which we would like you to take note of. It’s not the most exciting of reads but it is important. Deep breath - here goes…

We love emails; they are quick and environmentally friendly and if we ever print an email we promise to use recycled paper and then dispose of it responsibly. Please try and do the same.
This email and its attachments are intended for the above named only and may be confidential. If this email has come to you in error – do not panic! Take no action based on the email, nor copy or show to anyone, simply reply to this message highlighting the error. We would be awfully grateful if you could do this.

Although great time and care has gone into creating this email from [company], please be aware that Internet email is not a 100% secure communications medium. Bear this in mind…you can always give us a call or pop in for a coffee instead.

Although we have tried our very best to make sure that this email and its attachments are virus free, we do advise that the recipient (i.e. you) ensure that this is the case. Be careful!

Oh and enjoy your day. Well done for reaching the bottom - call us for a certificate.

*not really an email policy but an important message all the same.
