I don't think it is effective to negotiate for a higher rate of pay over email. In person is the best. Over the phone is good. Email makes it very easy to say no. It is a lot tougher to say no to someone who is looking at you in the eye and still very tough to say no to people over the phone.
Oh yeah - the person who is most willing to walk away from the negotiating table will ultimatly win. Keep that in mind.
