Assignments: Corporate Memo
Write a brief 150- to 300-word workplace memo that addresses the following scenario:
You are working as the communications officer for a company located in a large office building with designated areas for employee breaks and lunches located on each floor. The company's president has asked you to send a memo via e-mail directing all employees to clean their own mess before leaving the breakroom.
There have been repeated instances of spills on counters, garbage left behind, and employee lunches and food items spoiling in the refrigerators. The president wants you to warn employees that he may direct the cleaning staff to throw out everything in the refrigerator on a daily basis if the situation continues. Additionally, he would like you to direct employees to clean any mess they encounter in the break rooms, regardless of whether or not it was their own. Basically, he wants you to create a guide of breakroom "Do's and Don't's" for employees.
Follow the guidelines for ensuring quality and appropriate tone discussed, and include the following in your memo:
• A subject line for the e-mail
• Planning and composing that demonstrates understanding of the audience for whom you are writing as discussed.
• Writing that follows the characteristics of good writing as discussed, such as verb-to-word ratio, keeping the subject near the verb, tone, and active voice
Table of Contents Draft for Your Week 5 User Manual Excerpt
A Table of Contents is a blueprint, so to speak, for the content in a document. A Table of Contents must correspond to the headings and sub-headings included within the document.
• Read the Final Project: User Manual Excerpt assignment located in our Week 5 classroom space to gain an understanding of the final project.
• Select one UOP application from the list provided in the linked file, Application Details.
• Add a placeholder in your document by entering each of the sub-headings somewhere in your blank Microsoft® Word document.
• Apply a Heading Style to each sub-heading. Heading 3 is recommended because Heading 1 will be reserved for the application title (heading) of your user manual excerpt.
• Create the Table of Contents in your document using the sub-headings associated with the UOP application you have selected. The sub-headings should appear in your TOC with dotted-line page numbers for each one.
