三、经典范文
 
例1、Directions: Write a memorandum of about 100 words to the student service department and ask them to fix a telephone for each dormitory.
MEMO
August 16, 2005
To: The leader of student service department
From: Li Ming
Subject: Telephone
Dear Sir,
I would like to remind you that we are in want of a telephone for each dormitory. As a university student, we need to cope with the daily increasing communications with teachers, friends and people outside the campus.
We need a telephone to get and send message, which is important for us. Though most of us have mobile phones and e-mail address, a telephone in the dormitory is after all the most convenient and cheapest tool of communication. I hope that you will pay attention to this problem and solve it as soon as possible.
Regards.
Yours,
Li Ming
注：“remind”一词用法比较多，可以在后面直接接人或宾格，如“提醒我”译为“please remind me”。如果提醒某人某事则用“remind somebody of something”，也可以在后面加从句，即“remind sb that”，“remind”还有一个意思为“使想起”同样用“remind…of…”的结构，应注意与提醒某事区分。
例2、Directions: You are supposed to write a Memorandum of about 100 words to the leader of the supply section to borrow one more microscope for your biological experimen

注：在写备忘录的时候，一定要注意它的格式，尤其要在开头写清楚是谁写给谁来备忘的，用“From: ／To:”两个单词即可。文中的“badly”是“非常的，迫切的”意思。短语“in order to”同下句的“so that”意思是一样的即：为了，目的是。不同的是前者后接动词原型而后者常跟目的状语从句 ，类似的短语还有“in order that”，用法与“so that”相同。
例3、Directions: If you are the teacher of the students' Counselors office: P. steeples, and you have received a letter for requesting for paid education leave from a student. Write him a memo to reply him including details:

Date: May 22, 2005
In response to your request for one year of paid education leave to take a degree in English literature, I have to inform you that we cannot authorize this leave.
While we appreciate your desire to improve your knowledge, we feel that English literature is not directly related to your present position and to the goals of this organization.
I am aware of your great interest in literature, and I would like to point out that you could gain advantage to apply for leave without pay.
If you need another information on the above, do not hesitate to keep touch with me at any time.
P. steeples
注：首先要注意本篇备忘录的格式很标准。然后注意这个备忘录的个别词的用法，譬如：be aware of telephone是什么意思注意到、当心的意思，point out 指出,request for 要求，in response to 反馈。
　例5、Directions: You are a supervisor of a big company. The chief of operations wants to adopt the “punch-in” system to increase productivity. Write a memo to talk about this:
1)Does the “punch-in” system benefit the company?
2)If the company doesn’t adopt it, what else can we do to increase productivity.
You should write about 100 words.
To: David Green, Chief of Operations
From: Tony Party , Supervisor
Subject: Comments on the “Punch-in” System
Date: March. 22, 2005
  This is further to your memo dated March. 20, 2004, in which you proposed that employees adopt the “punch-in” system.
I fully agree with you that we must increase productivity. As far as your proposal that if the “punch-in” system is adopted, we would have a tighter control over the employees is concerned. However, I don’t think so. I personally think that, to accomplish this, we should give the employees more incentives to work faster. I feel that if we ( the supervisors) could meet with you , we could discuss different possibilities to create such inventiveness.
Your consideration of this suggestion would be appreciated.
