Memo Assignment - Essay Example

Memo al Affiliation Memo Memo for Technicians, Engineers, Programmers, and Other Employees From Office ManagerSubject: Proposed Reduction in Shipping CostsDate: March 28, 2014It has come to my attention, as also to the attention of our CEO, that the shipping costs of our company are significantly large; and therefore, taking a toll on our financial profits. A closer review of our shipping costs revealed that most of the personnel utilize overnight or second-day mail shipments which are very expensive at shipping costs ranging from $15 to $20 for FedEx service.

In this regard, may I hereby encourage all concerned personnel to use the following options, in lieu of overnight or second-day mail shipments: Send messages through email; Send messages through facsimile, which costs only about 35 cents a page to most long-distance areas and practically nothing to local areas; orPlan shipments by sending through UPS or FedEx ground service, which takes about three to five days, but has been revealed to be considerably cheaper. The goal is to reduce shipping costs by as much as 50% within the next two (2) months.

Please be advised that if these costs of shipments have not been reduced to this target, our CEO has already indicated implementing stiffer restrictions which might jeopardize sending correspondences to clients within stipulated time frames. Each is therefore encouraged to resort to using any of the three options identified above. The use of overnight or second-day mail shipments would have to be authorized by me and should therefore seek my approval prior to the release of funds to ship correspondences by these modes.

Please be guided accordingly.
