In order to meet the requirement of business development, our company is planning to update the current telephone system. Please refer to the detailed projects in attachment proposed by three communications companies. I would be grateful that every one of you spare some time to read the documents carefully and put forward your suggestions. Your valuable suggestions are supposed to be submitted by the end of this month. We will have a discussion on your suggestions, and our company will then place an order at the beginning of next month. Thanks for you cooperation.
【答案解析】 请注意memo的格式,尤其正文部分不像电子邮件或信件,不需要称呼;最后也不需落款署名。memo的措辞应简明扼要,直奔主题,无需额外的寒暄客套。
