		<description>Hey, George:

I would take that as a direct greeting being professional on the stern side.  I know that I greet most through my e-mails with an informal &quot;Hey, name&quot; or &quot;Hello, name&quot; to ensure I am friendly and approachable.  But when I want to have a more direct tone, I skip the Hey or Hello.  Maybe that&#039;s the case here -- maybe not.  If you are unsure of the Sender&#039;s intent it is best you call or meet in person, if possible, to discuss and avoid any possible misunderstandings.

One thing I would refrain from repeating in the future is to not Cc: others in an ongoing conversation with another individual.  They were communicating with you, not the others you chose to bring into the conversation.  I just posted about this very topic here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businessemailetiquette.com/to-or-cc/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Who Should You To: or Cc:?&lt;/a&gt;

HTH!</description>
