Here are some sample answers to the situations in the June 2001 Tech Tip. Write a regular memo and an e-memo, and look for the differences. Make sure you think about the subject line, the salutation, the closing, and the signature file in the e-memo.1. You want to remind Ms Maria Rodriguez, your travel agent, about your room reservation next month. You need a double room with bath at the Marquis Hotel. Make sure you give the dates you will be staying and your arrival and departure times.
