When should you use the exclamation point?
Writing (Communications): Avoid exclamation points.
Unless you are writing a children's book or cartoon strip, exclamation points should be avoided. They suggest effusiveness, not a prized quality in business writing.

Remember, the exclamation point should be reserved for those rare occasions when you needs to express surprise or excitement.
