Memo No. 003

California, June 15, 2020

From: José Carreiras

To: Mariah Stone

Subject: New workday.

Dear Miss Stone,

In view of the changes in the workday, I would like to inform you about some results that I could see with these changes.

First of all, I would like to highlight the advantage of having a reduced workload to protect our workers, who are able to reduce their exposure and thus reduce the spread of Coronavirus in our environment. On the other hand, I would like to inform you that there is a disadvantage in working only 4 hours a day, which is the decrease in our production and consequently the decrease in our profits.

With this in mind, I conclude that we must arrange a meeting so that new strategies for working hours are established, taking into account the success of our company and the protection of our collaborators and employees.

I await your reply, have a nice day.

Jose Carreiras

Director of human resources department

Explanation:

A memo is short, to the point and objective. It is usually done to address issues of commercial and administrative level and is written with a clear, summarized and very well elaborated message, as these sectors require that everything be done with agility.

It is important to remember that the memos consist of obeying a specific model, but that model can be modified as needed. This model generally presents itself as:

anyone who was dealing with communism in soviet union in his time had an ideal picture of equality, freedom, the struggle of the working class for a better future, the success of the aristocracy's overthrow and the emancipation of subjugation.   however, anyone who would go to soviet union to see the functioning of the communist system, would be convinced that it was about sad people, about everyday bad life, about the brutal attitude of communist leaders, about ill obsession to completely exterminate every thought on aristocracy. thus, orwell wanted to show all the absurdity, the brutality of the system, the unbearable rule of suspicious morality, the ignorant people who try to play professionally.

the answers are: b. and e.
