As far as I know there aren’t any fixed rules about how to use bullet points. So this is how I normally use them.
I like to introduce lists with a colon (that’s this punctuation mark here :).
I don’t use full-stops when I write a list of items.
Please bring with you:
- pens and paper
- dictionaries
- a pair of scissors
If my lists are made up of full sentences, I start each with a capital letter and end each with a full-stop.
Things to do before you write an email:
- Plan what you want to say.
- Make some notes.
- Think about your subject line, your salutation and how you want to sign off.
If my lists carry on from the introductory text, I use lower case (small letters) for the first letter in each bullet point and only add a full-stop to the very last sentence.
Before you write an email, remember to:
- plan what you want to say
- make some notes
- think about your subject line, your salutation and how you want to sign off.
