Jill was asked to write a short memo by her boss on a proposed school-to-work program. However, Jill's 5-page memo discussed her own and friends' experiences in other programs and descriptions from magazines without clearly explaining the proposed program. Jill's boss did not have time to read lengthy memos and discarded Jill's memo after the first two paragraphs failed to get to the point. The story illustrates the importance of clearly stating the purpose and main points when writing work communications and keeping them concise.
