Question

Do you agree/disagree with the idea that letters, memos and emails should have one main topic when they are work-related? Can you think of an example when an letter, memo, or email had more than one main topic and was confusing?

Answer 1

Yes, I agree that a letter, memo and email should have one main topic when they are work related. It helps to clearly identity and understand the message. In case of multiple message, reader may get confused and interpret things differently. During work, I received the email once which had multiple topics. It was related to merger plan of the company. But, it also contained details on hiring of new workforce and training plan which led to confusion between employees. Later, HR rectified the mail and shared two separate mails basis the topic.
