Memo is one sentence only, and is very long. It is difficult to read and understand. Writing the three complaints as part of one long sentence makes the message incoherent. Meeting on employee concerns on September 22, Monday, at 10:15 a.m. In my office.

RE: Meeting on Employee Concerns on September 22, Monday Everyone is up in arms over the quality of the so- called food now being served in the cafeteria, the idiotic new relaxed dress code which permits the girls to wear shorts and halters on the job, and the parking situation in which employees must literally walk from the street lots to the building and I urgently suggest a meeting with all concerned to discuss these top-priority problems on September 22, 10:15 in my office.
Conciseness and Coherence The whole memo is one sentence only, and is very long. It is difficult to read and understand.
Also, writing the three complaints as part of one long sentence makes the message incoherent. The reader will find it easier if the three complaints are written as bullets. I have received 15 complaints involving three employee-related areas:
The revised dress code for female employees; The cafeteria food; and The parking situation.
Lets meet in my office on September 22, Monday, at 10:15 a.m. to discuss these concerns.
Thank you.
Everyone is up in arms over the quality of the so- called food now being served in the cafeteria, the idiotic new relaxed dress code which permits the girls to wear shorts and halters on the job, and the parking situation in which employees must literally walk from the street lots to the building and I urgently suggest a meeting with all concerned to discuss these top-priority problems on September 22, 10:15 in my office. Clarity Everyone is up in arms this is an exaggeration. It is better to cite the number of employees who really complained.
Employees must literally walk from the street lots to the building - this is an exaggeration.
Top-priority problems while employee concerns are important, these ones do not seem to qualify as top priority. Also, use problems with caution because it could be inflammatory.
