MEMO
To: *****************.
From:
******* Alloush <s1300*****@seu.edu.sa>
Date: Thursday, December 28, 2014
Subject:
My Recommendation Report Form.
As this week’s assignment request, I will talk about how to
formulate a recommendation report which I will send it to the manager of the
company's branch in Japan. In this report, I will recommend a bonus in this
month’s salary.
In the beginning, I made some research on Japanese culture
to know how they talk to each other in business and that's what I found:
·
Addressing someone properly is key. For instance, “Dr.
Smith” might feel a little insulted if you refer to him as “Smith”.
·
Attach the suffix “san” to their last name, or “ sama ” if
you are trying to be particularly respectful depending on the status and age of
the person
·
Japanese workers know that twice a year they will receive a
bonus payment, the bonus has become an
integral part of the wage system.
·
The term “bonus” suggests a special reward for good work.
Accordingly, I decided
shaping my report as a memo format as follows:
1.
First, heading guide includes
"To", "From", " Date", and " Subject" lines, which will
be " Recommendations for a Bonus
in This Month’s Salary".
2.
Secondly,
a brief background to discuss how feasibility has already been determined, like
this :" In our October10 meeting, we discussed how would our bonus system
be. We agreed that the bonus should be twice a year in June and January. This report outline the amount of
each one and recommend a third bonus for this month".
3.
Thirdly,
the body of the memo includes these headings: The Amount of the bonuses, Causes
of the Third Bonus.
4.
Fourthly,
a conclusion discusses benefits of following the recommendations.
Eventually, I think this
report will be polite as expected in Japan and direct to the point without
being rude. In addition, I used an authoritative tone as requested.
