Some people get hung up on grammar; some don’t think it’s important at all. BUT if this is your first contact, remember – first impressions are critical.

An English speaker will mark you as unrefined or unsophisticated when you make grammatical mistakes. If you’re going to engage with high-level people, this can mean the difference between landing a job/deal or not, leaving a good impression or not, and managing a crisis, or not.
