Assignment:
Write an internal memo of approximately 500 words that clearly and concisely explains all the
factors of your context to the audience, which must include your actions thus far and ideas you
might have for the next step. See the memo examples on pages 22-25, 44, 52, and 54 for more
information. Your memo must also contain all of the following elements:
A chosen organizing format from table 2-1 on page 41 of your textbook. (State this clearly in a
"Details" line item below your "Subject" line in the memo's intro.)
At least two consistently-used styles for organization (bold, numbering, font size, etc.)
At least two sections with appropriate, parallel titles
At least one example or case study you find in an outside source that addresses how a similar
situation is/was handled elsewhere, with enough info in the text for the audience to find that
source themselves.
Be as complete as possible, keeping in mind the audience and purpose. Use any verbal or visual
means needed.
Document Specifications:
As stated previously, your memo should have the standard heading elements and one extra line
called "Details" that lists the option and organizing format you picked. For example:
To: Charlotte Ruiz de Burton
From: Jane Student, Job Title
Date: October 2, 2013
Subject: <insert here>>
Details: Organizational Manager, Spatial
Or, for further example,
Details: Lab QA, Chronological
