Q When you submit the final draft of your document, you should also include a memo of transmittal which notifies me that you are submitting the document, that you have chosen certain areas to revise, and that you have made certain changes. The reason I'm asking you to include this memo is that I'm interested in which areas stood out to you as needing revision, and I'd like to know how you addressed making those revisions. In addition, this type of memo is often necessary in the workplace (whether in electronic or hard copy form), where you most likely would not simply drop a report on someone's desk without some indication of the purpose of the document. Here are some requirements for the memo: Begin by stating that the revised document is attached, and state the topic of the document. Categorize the revisions made, preferably under headings. Describe in some detail the revisions made and why. The why can be a separate heading, or you may choose to describe your reasons for revising under each category. State how the changes you've made have improved the document. Close by referencing the attached document and by providing some contact information (e-mail address or phone number, for example). Pay attention to memo format, with headings, bulleted lists, and white space. You might choose to use a memo wizard in Microsoft Word and send it as an attachment. There is no length requirement, but I'll be looking for details.
