DIRECTIVES
Directives are memos or emails that give instructions for a task, project, assignment, or new procedure. Directives address a particular problem and indicate a solution.
When writing directives, consider the following tips (Figure 25):
State the reason for the directive, including a legislative compliance requirement, if any.
Include specific instructions on what the reader is expected to do.
State deadlines for the task or project.
