SCHOOL OF ENGNISH FOR BUSINESS
MEMORANDUM
To: Mr. Kingswick, Course Coordinate
From: Barnsby Campbel
Date: 19 November 1995
Subject: Lesson Plan for 28 November Lecture
I intend to teach memo writing in my next lecture. I plan to cover the following parts:
1. Inside Address
This is omitted in a memo. As internal communication the reason is obvious.
2. Greeting
It is more polite to put Mr., Mrs., or Ms before and the office after the name of the recipient. You may sometimes address the readers as a group.
3. Subject
This is a phrase to tell reader what the memo is about. Sometimes only he phrase is given without the word Subject before it.
4. Body
These should be short, less than 10 lines, and concentrate on only one paragraph one idea each. Sometimes for memos with three or more paragraphs, it is advisable to begin each with a heading in capital letters to tell what the paragraph is about. Another practice is number the paragraphs for easy reference later on.
5. Carbon copy
This is written as c.c. for short. As in a letter, it lists the persons who are also receiving the memo.
6. Signature
Only the initial is need. The office and name in print of the write are omitted. In more casual memos there is no signature at all.
Any thoughts on my notes? Anything to add? Let me know at tea break.
c.c. Mr. P.L. Duke, Training Office.

MEMO
To: All Directors
From: Lynn Adam, Administrative Secretary
Date: May 25, 1999
Subject: Machine Dictation
At the request of some of the division direction, we have made a survey of machine transcripts to see what could be done to improve both the quality of transcripts and the speed with which the work is completed. these are their suggestions:
1. Both dictators and transcribers should be familiar with the dictating and transcribing
Equipment. A manual is available for every machine; it explains how to use the equipment.
2. It would be helpful if all dictators would:
a. Mark the indicator slips with special instruction and correction. Mark the slips, too, to show the length of the letter or report.
b. Spell any proper names as well as technical or unfamiliar words.
c. Control their voice so that the dictation is neither too loud nor too soft. Be sure to enunciate clearly.
d. Supply as mach information as possible__ number of copies, type of massage, and identity of dictator. It would also help if salutations and subject lines, when used, were dictated.
e. Indicate when you would like the dictation complete the work dictation is rush.
3. Machine transcribers will complete transcription by the day following the receiving of the tape unless the dictation is marked rush-----then every will be made to complete the work when it is wanted.
Please let me know if you have further suggestions. I should also like to know if these suggestions result in better transcripts.
