Hi,
I am reading the examiner's report of the 2019 September sitting. I noticed that the examiners are looking for a welcoming language and tone. I find this quite confusing because it is a memo that is asked. Shouldn't memos be more professional and mention the matters only? I understand why a welcoming tone is considered, but I do not quite get why including such a tone is acceptable for a memo.
Also, can I assume all memos should be written in a way that other readers can also understand it? For example, with the 2019 September paper, although the memo is directed to Sam, should I still consider the possibility that others would read it? Otherwise I don't get why a memo is asked instead of a reply in email directly.
Thanks a lot!
