But I sent an email !?

So you sent an email. Do you think that's all there is to communicating? Two of the biggest mistakes people make in communicating are assuming communication has actually taken place and assuming the message was understood.

Sending an email does not mean it's been read. You lose your first link in the communication chain right there. The second link involves the recipient both reading and understanding the message's intent. Even if you have evidence that your email was opened, don't count on that to mean it's been read. And even if the recipient has read it, that in itself doesn't mean the full content was fully understood.

How many emails do you get? Do you read them all? Do you really digest everything every one of them says?
