    • @peakdavid
      @peakdavid  3 года назад

      Yes, the audience rules. The idea is that there are no universal rules that apply to all audiences all of the time. However, the rules for a specific audience are the important/critical ones.

    hey!
    I've seen many times that memorandum begins with "memorandum for", but in your video there is "memo to"
    so, are these both variants fit well or "for" is not used?

    • @peakdavid
      @peakdavid  8 лет назад

      +tlifo What word to use after "memorandum" depends completely on the sentence it is a part of. For example, there is a "memo of understanding" is the example I use. There is no standard phrase.

  • @djcripsen
    @djcripsen 9 лет назад +1

    Why don't you add a signature or complementary at the end of a memo? I'm in the USAF and we always add a signature to our memos. Memos can act as a record or policy so the writer is certifying the information correct?

    • @peakdavid
      @peakdavid  9 лет назад

      Cripsen--A local template or style always overrides the general advice given in textbooks or mass tutorials like this one.

    Hello Sir, I have an assignment to write a memo report of 4 to 5 pages. But in your presentation, its stated that a memo is only 1 to 2 pages long. is that possible?

    • @peakdavid
      @peakdavid  9 лет назад

      The *typical* memo is 1-2 pages. I also say that there are certain types of memos that are much longer. I give some examples of these longer memos. Maybe your assignment is one of these.
