Question:

You work at a company that has a policy of funding employees to take courses to develop their skills. In order to qualify for funding, you are required to write a request memo to your supervisor.

2. In a new document in Word, set up a heading for the memo. Make the heading MEMORANDUM in a large font size. You can also add a space between each letter and apply bold and a color of your choice.
3. Include the name of your instructor or supervisor in the To: line and your name in the From: line. Include the current date and an appropriate subject line.
4. Create a custom border to separate the heading from the body of the memo.
5. Start the memo with a purpose statement that also implies the action you expect from your supervisor (e.g., to approve your request for funding to take a workrelated course).
6. Organize the details regarding your request in an attractive, easy-to-read format. Use a table and bullets to present some of the information. Format the table attractively.
7. Conclude the memo with an action statement that includes your contact information.
8. Adjust spacing if necessary to fit the memo on one page, save the document as Course Request Memo, print a copy, and then close the document.
