[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 242683, member: 42112"] Hey! In most written exercises, a short note wouldn't usually include a formal memo-style header (to/from/date). This is because it is meant to be a concise and practical update, so you can go straight into the substance of the document, using clear headings or bullet points. You also wouldn't necessarily include an executive summary or a formal conclusion - I'd say it is usually fine to end with next steps or a brief recommendation based on the overall contents. A report tends to have a bit more structure, but again a full header isn't normally required unless the instructions specifically ask for one. An executive summary may be appropriate if the report is longer or more detailed, but in many AC exercises it would be fine to go straight into the analysis. A short conclusion can definitely be helpful to draw points together and set out recommendations as well. Above all, I'd just ensure that you are following any instructions that are given - where the format isn't specified, I'd try to prioritise practicality and clarity. I hope that assists! :) [/QUOTE]
