Celebrated and multiple-award-winning Ghanaian sports Journalist, Saddick Adams, has adopted his Facebook page to kick some sense into heads of first time texters who “fool” in people’s inboxes on the first encounter.
Most often, we receive messages from strangers with just “HI” with no introduction which leaves us in a state of dilemma as to what this person wants and his/her identity.
According to the prolific sports guru, it’s absurd to jump into the inbox of person you’re chatting for the first time with just a “HI/HELLO” without continuing your message with a little introduction of your personality and what you want.
He wrote;
Please, if you’re not familiar with someone and you message them for the first time, just go straight to the point.
“Hi Doreen, I’m the gentleman who came to your banking hall this afternoon. Thanks for your service and like you suggested, I’ll get in touch when I have any challenge. I’m grateful.”
OR
“Hi Saddick, this is Daniel, the guy who took your number at the stadium. I’ll send you my videos like you said, so you can have a look. Can you kindly send me your email address. Thanks.
Don’t go about sending “Hi” and wait for hello before you come back to say “how are you” and then “what’s up”.
We know you’re trying to be nice but my guy, there’s too much stress in this country to be doing a hello hi hello hi with strange numbers.
Also, don’t call people who you haven’t spoken to before, and be asking, “I hope you know who is speaking”…”Oh can’t you guess the voice” bla bla bla.
Madam, Saa True Caller Adwuma, yagyae.
