Comment on the effectiveness of the following memo
To: All Employees
From: S. Edwards, General Manager
Subject: Abuse of Copiers
Date: May 10, 20XX
It has recently been brought to my attention that many of the people who are employed by this company have taken advantage of their positions by availing themselves of the copiers. More specifically, these machines are being used for other than company business.
Obviously, such practice is contrary to company policy and must cease and desist immediately. I wish therefore to inform all concerned – those who have abused the policy or will be abusing it – that their behavior cannot and will not be tolerated. Accordingly, anyone in the future who is unable to control himself will have his employment terminated.
If there are any questions about company policy, please feel free to contact this office.
