Directions: write a memorandum for your assigned scenario.
Scenario A – Writing Workshops
You work as a Senior Manager for McInnis Inc., the largest public relations firm in your area specializing in writing, media placement, PR, and web development for businesses, individuals, and government agencies. Since the pandemic began last year, you have noticed that the writing exhibited by your employees (many of whom are still working from home) has deteriorated. Internal emails have to be reread multiple times for clarity, and external communications such as media campaigns have had to undergo total revisions because they contained grammatical errors that impacted meaning. You must now mandate that the employees attend a series of writing workshops to address this issue.
Your Task
Write a memorandum to your employees that conveys the details of the mandatory writing workshops.
Reminders:
Your memorandum should:
- be one page in length.
- have visual appeal.
- include all relevant information for the user to make an informed decision (comprehensive).
- appeal to the primary audience’s expectations, attitudes, and technical background.
- contain action steps and a recommendation.
Notes:
1. Review the information presented in Chapter 14 as well as your notes to help you compose your memorandum.
2. Use the textbook as a guide, not as a “template.” The sample memorandum provided on p.373 fits that particular scenario and not necessarily this assignment. Memoranda that copy textbook samples (to include language and style) or use templates will receive a zero!
