Amadeus is an example of how we used e-mail. A contact contacted all of us in Amadeus through e-mail as she was looking for a holiday, we all then had to research information for our client and send them the details through e-mail.
This was an excellent way of showing us how to contact someone without having to use a telephone and is more of a effective way.
