Imagine that you, as the department manager of accounting and finance area, received a memo from Mary Atha, the CEO, for you to share with your employees.

Unfortunately, the memo is primarily written in passive voice and uses corporate-speak, and the language is quite complex. Because you cannot simply revise the CEO'S memo, you determine that a cover letter should accompany the memo, which in effect translates the memo for your employees.

The document memo: doubling sales. Read the memo and determine how you will summarize it in your cover letter. After evaluating the role of a manger, prepare a cover letter that will presumably be attached to the CEO memo. The cover letter should reflect these qualities:

Summarize the main points of the memo, highlighting and reiterating key points of the CEO memo. Reflect a writing level that is appropriate to your readers. Keep in mind these two factors: your readers are the employees of your functional area that you manage, and the appropriate reading difficulty level is between sixth- and eighth-grade reading levels. Use active voice.

Prepare your cover letter as a new memo.
