Email RP Formats?

I have a couple college friends that have expressed interest in starting a 3-player email RP. We discussed it a bit and decided we will use a sci-fi theme of our own creation.
The hard part, however, is finding a good format to use for email. We have made one attempt, which died after about 10 turns, in which we realized we were basically just telling a chain story. We want to add a bit more game elements and RP elements. The idea is to make it more of a game and less of a story.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get a simple 3 player email based RP going?

Use your snap judgement to determine appropriate attribute and difficulty and the rest is RP.
Example of Character and Play:
Joe the SPACE Doctor (6 points)
Social 2
Mental 3
Physical 1
Joe performs NUCLEAR surgery on a doomed ALIEN patient: difficulty 5, roll 1d6 add to mental (3), 5 or higher? Success!
Joe shoots a LASER gun at a stationary target: difficulty 2, roll 1d6 add to physical (1), 2 or higher? Success!
Joe dodges a PROTON bullet, opposed physical rolls, defender wins ties.
And so forth.
(edited to fit the scifi theme)
