All documents/homework in this class are to be single spaced (choose “No Spacing” as the option under “Styles” in Microsoft Word).

Use the memo format found on page 535 in the text book (Appendix B).

 

Please look at each part of the memo and include it or don’t include it as necessary. Also, you may use margins of 1” all the way around the page if you need more room to fit your information on one page. Include a picture of yourself on the memo. It can be placed anywhere on the memo – but it must be a picture that easily identifies you. Below is the information you need to include in the memo.
