Thanks you to all the hundreds of you that answered my question, re the format of these messages.  The overwhelming response was – leave them as they are !  Many thanks.
 
Two points did emerge:
  1.   Full Text of members email experiences.  Do I have to use the full text of a members email to us all, rather than a brief summary of their point, was raised by several people ?.  I did consider this.  I felt on a balance, it was better to include the whole text as it would familiarise you with the wording and format used.  If I just said, members have been receiving scam emails from ‘Nice’ about scurrilous blood tests, you would not be familiar with the actual words used in the emails.  Once you have seen and read them, if ever a similar email arrived in your inbox, you would recognise it immediately and know exactly, how to deal with it.
  2. Repetition.  A tricky point.  Often, I do have to repeat the same message – time, after time, after time.  I have 2 points here – (i) If the same offences occur for the same reasons, people not locking houses and cars, the message is not getting through and it needs repeating – the – it will never happen to me syndrome.  I dread INSECURE burglaries, as I have to repeat the ‘lock your doors and windows’ message !  (ii) We are signing up 100 new members each and every month – who have not heard these messages before – to them.  It is new to them and it is vitally important to keep them safe.  When I hold ‘Start Up Meetings’, you would be amazed how little knowledge general people out there – not involved as we are – have about crimes and how & why they happen.


The one message to take away, is that my messages are not volumes of ‘War and Peace’ (though they sometimes feel like it), literary masterpieces, to keep and treasure.  They are for you to skim, and be aware of, to share and discard.  The attachments, such as Mrs. Chalmers top tips and fliers, should be saved somewhere in your computer, in case you need them at a later date.
 
I am grateful for the feedback.
