E-mail guidelines and etiquette

WHAT'S OKAY TO SEND TO EMPLOYERS (and others) VIA E-MAIL:
YOUR FIRST CONTACT TO AN EMPLOYER (and others)?

Don't send an e-mail randomly to someone saying "I'm not sure if you're the correct person, but I figured you could forward this...." Don't figure. If you write to the wrong person, s/he has no reason to respond or forward. Do your research, and say WHY you're writing to the person ("you were listed as the contact for the XYZ job fair").
