(e.g., Bob , Mom , etc.). Instead,

always use full names (including

first and last names) for these

contacts.

• Do not use special characters (e.g.,

'@', '-', '*', '&', etc.).

• Do not use abbreviations (i.e., use

"Lieutenant" instead of "Lt.") or

acronyms (i.e., use "County Fi‐

nance Department" instead of "C.
