Writing to your team should be as natural as writing to anyone else. Every email communication should have a single theme and end with an open ended question. I totally agree that in every email you should say "Thank you." and "How can I best assist you with. . . ?" Yes we all experience 'the sound of the crickets' when we send out regular email but that's part of the key - frequency. Don't send too many emails or you will come over as pushy. If you don't send enough emails, it appears that you are unconcerned or disconnected. You have to find that right length, and frequency that works best for you! Finally, and probably the most important, your subject line has to be something that is going to capture their attention, build on their desires and interest, and demands action now!
