Question

Interoffice Memorandum

Write a memo up to three paragraphs long for one of the following scenarios. Decide who the memo should be sent to and what the subject of the message is. The memo will be from you. (Keep in mind this is fictitious and you can give it a slant to a current work situation if this makes it easier. Since it is fictitious no one should have the same memo. They may have similarities, but should all be different). Add your own information to the body of the memo.

Situation 1

You are the office manager and want to remind everyone to clean up after themselves in the lunchroom. There was recently an infestation of cockroaches. The building has since been fumigated but you still require the cooperation of staff to prevent a re-infestation.

State the purpose of the memo, your reason(s) for sending it (i.e. the kind of behavior you have noticed) and what actions you want taken.

Situation 2

Write a memo of your choice. Tell the recipients the purpose of the memo, your reason(s) for sending it and what action (if any) you want taken. Provide suggestions in your memo if appropriate.
