Memo

You are now a teacher in a rural parish and need to write a memo to your employer. Ask for an opportunity to discuss the issue of salary increase with him or her. Know that your manager needs to forward this memo to his or her superior. This boss is not familiar with you or your job responsibilities, so define and compare them with industry standards. Sufficient background information and work details must be provided. If you help your employer see the value associated with your written communication skills in your educational pursuits, then this memo will be the most effective in achieving its goals. 

Cite and reference as appropriate.
