"Now actually, you might be responding to several things in this email. If you are, what you want to do, or even if you're sending an email maybe you're asking several questions, what you want to do is you want to list things in the most important order. Let's say I'm sending you an email and I need to ask you three things about an upcoming meeting. Well what's the most important thing that I need to know right away about that meeting? Well maybe it's "can the meeting be on Friday?" Whatever it is, you want to put it in that kind of order so that if you're reader, maybe they just have time to glance at the email maybe they don't have time to read the entire email, and the content could be much longer than just questions. Whatever it is you want to get the most important thing answered first. That way you're reader can respond to that first question, "yeah the meeting is good on Friday but I'll have to get back to you later". At least you got your answer to your most important question."
