Question

Louise and Paul work for the same manufacturing company. Louise, a senior engineer, is chairing a committee to investigate ways to improve the hiring process at the company. Paul, a technical editor, also serves on the committee. The excerpts quoted in Louise’s email are from Paul’s email to all members of the committee in response to Louise’s request that members describe their approach to evaluating job-application materials.

How would you revise Louise’s email into a formal memo to make it more effective?

We don't have the luxury of studying documents to see if we can find errors. I suggest you concentrate on what you were hired to do, without imposing your"standards" on the rest of us. >From my point of view, an error can include a >misused tradmark. Misusing a tradmark," Paul? Is that Error Number 1?

Dear Paul,

It's not always possible to have perfect resumes. I agree with you Paul. But we should focus on the company's primary task, which is to manufacture and rollout products as soon as possible. We have other main responsiblities to be taken care of. Your intrusion in our work is creating a hindrance for us and we excpect you to primarily focus on your work. Kindly, do not highlight unnecessary errors and increase non-value added work.
