INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: [Peer]
FROM: [Name]
DATE: [ ]
SUBJECT: [ ]
I have encountered a difficult situation relating to our business office and hope that you can shed some light on the problem and suggest how to deal with it. [I turned in our department’s monthly financial report two days before it was due. Today, a week after the due date, the business manager called to ask why he had not yet received my report. I sent him another copy, which he dates stamped with today’s date. He also complained to my supervisor about the late document]
Today was not the first time this happened, and there have been other incidents – [like misplacing the travel vouchers submitted by my subordinates, miscalculating their mileage reimbursements, and even arguing about the amount of petty cash I used to buy donuts for a meeting with clients.]
Have you experienced similar problems? How can I improve my relationship with the business office?
I really would appreciate your perspective on this situation.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어로 "조언을 구하다"를 직역하면 "I want to ask your advice"라고 쓰기 쉽지만, 업무 메모에서는 너무 직접적이고 격식이 부족합니다. 비즈니스 메모에서는 "shed some light on," "provide guidance on," 또는 "suggest how to deal with"와 같은 간접적이고 정중한 표현을 사용하는 것이 적절합니다. 특히 동료에게 보내는 메모에서는 상대방의 의견을 존중하는 어조가 중요합니다.
