Summary of memo writing (page 78)

All three parts of the task are completed and it is the correct length. The language is accurate and appropriate except for one mistake. (hire instead of book/reserve)
2. Candidate B
B completes two parts of the task but does not give location details. The note is too long. The writer includes unnecessary information (e.g. to discuss a contract with us). The language is generally accurate although the first sentence is long and wordy. The language is also inappropriate at times (e.g. cheers!).

A completes one part of the task only and does not give dates or location details. The note is short. The style is inappropriate formal for a note (I am writing to inform you…etc.).
