Technical writing

A successful memo will do the following:

· Be at least 2 pages, single spaced (there can be some additional spacing around headings, but don’t try to pad the memo with extra space).

· Be free of grammatical and spelling errors.

· Use some sort of documentation style to give credit to the document’s origins (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.)

· Use professional language, avoiding slang and colloquialisms

· Meet Markel’s criteria for excellence
