PART I: PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Directions: Compose a memo showing appreciation to Jason Corzo for the advice he gave you in a memo, which is provided in Figure 2.1 (p. 146). Respond as if you were “Marcia.” Your memo should begin with thanks followed by an explanation of your excitement and worry over the new assignment.
