       Introduction

The introduction of your memo should do the following:

Tell readers clearly about the problem, procedure, question, or policy that prompted you to write.

Explain briefly any background information the reader needs to know.

Be specific about what you are going to accomplish in your memo.

Do not hesitate to come right out and say, “This memo explains new email security procedures” or “This memo summarizes the action taken in Evansville to reduce air pollution.” See how clearly this is done in Figure

Discussion

In the discussion section (the body) of your memo, help readers in these ways:

State why a problem or procedure is important, who will be affected by it, and what caused it and why.

Indicate why and what changes are necessary.

Give precise dates, times, locations, and costs.

See how Janet Hempstead’s memo in Figure 4.2 carefully describes an existing prob- lem and explains the proper procedure for cleaning the brake machines, and how Mike Gonzalez in Figure 4.3 offers carefully researched evidence on how Ramco can increase its favorable publicity in the community.
