I don't get the situation.
"E-mail falls somewhere in between a business letter and a conversation, and as a result, messages might be interpreted disrespectful."

I guess e-mail is dealt inappropriately and misinterpreted, but I am not sure what "fall somewhere in between a business letter and a conversation" means. Could you rewrite the part in another way or just explain the situation?
