Memos and Emails
Email

Ok so here's the thing: 90% of the emails I get from students look like texts. When I was a grant writer, if I sent an email like that, I would have been in my boss's office so fast. SO let's learn proper etiquette for sending emails.

1) Start with a salutation. Hello, Hi, Dear _, Hi ___, Greetings! any of these work. Make sure your initial email has these. If you don't know the person personally, use Mr., Mrs., Ms., or the new Mx. and their last name.

2) Body: The body has to be right to the point and formal. Most work emails are all business. You can say something like "I hope your Monday is going well!" but beyond that, get to the point.

3) End it well. Best is a good way to go if you don't know the person. Sincerely is good too. It's all personal preference. Just make sure you end it. Also, ALWAYS include your last name. I get so many emails that say "Jackie" or whatever short name people go with, and I have 5 classes. Let's do some math here.

Your job is to create an email that you, as the CEO, are sending to one or more of your staff. One is preferable. Set up an issue you wish to address with that person (I really don't care what it is). Make it at least 100 words.

Memo

An intra-office memo is very important for giving widespread information to your employees. For this piece, you will create a big problem that your employees created, and then send them a memo explaining how you fixed it and how to prevent it from happening again. Use your imagination. Play with this. Make it funny. I want to laugh

Can someone give me an example

I hope this email finds you well. Recently I have noticed your lack of enthusiasm for this (establishment, company, etc.)! We expect better from our employees and I am beyond dissapointed in your sub-par performace as of late. I expect you to be willing and excited this upcoming Monday and expect you to pick up the slack.

Best,

(first & last name)

hope this helps! :)
