| On Memos The important thing to remember where memos are concerned is that memos are like any other kind of writing. It's important to be clear, specific, and easy to follow - always! This applies as much to TOEFL essays as it does to business memos. And it definitely applies to cover letters. Beyond that, it's not such a mystery.

Read your memo over after you have written it. Can you see and feel and understand what the writer is trying to communicate? Good! Because then your readers will see and feel and understand it, too. |
