This is something I need to do. Many times a mispelled word or a missing comma can alter the meaning of what you were trying to say. For example.
"Let's go out and eat, Mary." In this sentence I am asking Mary to join me for dinner.
"Let's go out and eat Mary." (without the comma) This sentence is more graphic and its intent could be taken differently, in that Mary was dinner or in some peoples minds 'dessert'.
And yes, talking in person is better, but sometimes you meet someone at random and you lose contact with them afterwards. With email you have his contact info and could always reach them if so desired.
