Exercise (Memo Assignment)

Choose three of the following five memoranda options, and write a memo for each. Save and print your memos.

1). Let Joanne Peeler, Office Manager, know that you will be late for work for the next seven Thursdays, as you must see your physiotherapist about a sport's injury before coming to work. Explain how you will make up the time.

2). Your holidays are scheduled for the first two weeks in November. Ask Joanne if you can change them to the last two weeks in December.

3). Write to Joanne and invite her to a Friday afternoon get-together to honour a colleague for a particular reason. You are to choose a name for the colleague, the when and where of the get-together, and the reason for the celebration.

4). Create a memo to all staff reminding them that their TD/4 forms are due in the payroll office. Failure to comply will result in the maximum tax being deducted from their paycheques.

5). Write to Joanne and convince her to buy a new piece of equipment for the office. Give good reasons for your request. Identify the item that you are requesting.
