Re: Memo
Foundations 101
Memos are
not the forum for discussing personal concerns and issues, but
are to be used as reminders or professional communication. While
consulting the OED might be helpful, I suggest a secretarial
handbook to all those who would like to write business memos.
Perhaps taking Professor Whitworth's excellent Business and
Technical Writing course would be a solution to this problem.
Have you
tried talking with Dr. Dodson directly to see if you have correctly
understood the situation? The rough drafts are collected for
our files, not for a book. I'm afraid the book to which you
refer is likely another office joke.
