Common errors include typo error, putting a full stop at the end of the e-mail address or forgetting to add in the “@”.

If you are writing to someone who has posted a message online, they may have added the words “no spam” into their e-mail address to confuse the robots (software that gather info online). For example, if you see “joseph@nospam.josephyap.com”, all you have to do is take out the word nospam.
