Assignment 3:1 – Memo Demonstrating You-Attitude

To: Evan Crisp, Student of English 301 course
From: Samuel Kobierski
Date: March 02, 2019
Subject: Effective Email Communication

Hi Mr. Crisp,

I have read your email to Professor Lambert, and I have formulated a list of suggestions for you to consider for future correspondence of this sort that will ensure you receive the appropriate response.

• Address the reader formally using their title
• Put yourself in the position of the reader and consider their point of view
• Be considerate, your reader is more inclined to respond if you treat them with respect
• Provide adequate background information to allow the reader to make an informed decision
• Use consistent formatting to keep the reader focused on the content of your writing

The above list should allow you to rewrite your memo to ensure that you receive the appropriate response.

Thanks,

Samuel Kobierski
