Clear

Means easy to understand. The reader has no doubts about what the email is trying to say, and what he/she has to do. It does not mean distinct or anything to do with seeing (in this context.) It does not mean definite or explicit (in this context,) although this may help the email be clear. It is about what is in the reader’s head after reading the email.

Considerate

Does not mean careful, but it does mean caring for other people. Another word for considerate is thoughtful. But this doesn’t mean just thinking a lot. It means thinking a lot about other people and hoping your actions can benefit them, and trying to do that. Someone with EQ is probably considerate.
