Introduction
Continue your critical examination of the one or more moral problems in your organization. Incorporate

style.
Directions
Below is detail about this stage.
1. Revise the date of your memo and expand its body and references.
2. Limit this stage of your memo to a maximum of 2 pages with 1-inch margins, 12-point serif font, and
double-spacing.
3. Incorporate your instructor’s feedback on the previous stages of your memo.
4. Continue to write the body of your memo by inserting the section title “The Solutions.”
5. Use the present tense for this section.

their answers. Instead, ensure that the body has a narrative flow.
a. What are the one or more recommended solutions? You must identify at least 2 solutions. If you
identify more than 3 solutions, discuss the most important 3 solutions only.
