Dear Sirs,

It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation to support the candidacy of Vitaly V. Vasilenko for 1996-97 USIA-ACTR/ /ACCELS FSA Undergraduate Program. I can evaluate his progress in English, as well as in Economics because for the past two years I have been his English teacher and have worked closely with him.

As a student in Finance, Vitaly Vasilenko has distinguished himself by his deep interest in the subjects studied at the University and in the modern tendencies in current economy of the country, its financial situation and ways of positive development. He needs more knowledge of laws and economic tendencies in developed countries.

Last year Vitaly in his paper «Banking in Ukraine», investigated the problem of Ukrainian banking and told his report on the topic at the annual students’ scientific conference. His views and ideas were independent and rather interesting.

At all classes Vitaly always shows good knowledge of the subject and his readiness for disputing and exchanging opinions on general and specific economic problems. He has a good command of both spoken and written English. Being an industrious and diligent student he also demonstrates creative and untraditional approach in his studies and research.

Out of studies Vitaly is an active, initiative man, patient and amiable with his class-mates. I can recommend him as a highly responsible and reliable student. I believe that Vitaly V. Vasilenko will be able to participate successfully in an educational exchange program in the United States. I support with enthusiasm his application for that possibility.

P) MEMOS

A memo (short form for memorandum) is drafted for internal purpose and meets the need for fast internal communication within the firm. The main difference from a conversation or a phone call is that the reader will be given time to think over his reactions and will keep this document in his files for future reference. The fact that there is no coming back on what has been written and that other people may happen to read your memo should have a definite influence on the way you express things and make recommendations.

Memos are often used to inform someone of the state of things at a particular moment, and alternative courses of actions may then be recommended. Memos can be addressed to a superior, a subordinate or a group of people (e.g. Memo to All Personnel in the Testing Dept). Although the style may vary according to the addressee(s), there are however basic rules one should observe when drafting a memo.
