    Explanation
    Proofreading emails before sending them is important because it helps to ensure that the content is clear, concise, and free from errors. By reviewing the email before sending, you can catch any spelling or grammatical mistakes, clarify any confusing points, and make sure that the message is appropriate and professional. Taking the time to proofread can prevent misunderstandings and help to maintain a positive impression with the recipient.
