Errors in Memorandum

Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me in correcting the errors in the memo and can you please tell why it is an error. Please feel free also to edit it Thanks in advance.

For : All Division Heads/Regional Heads

Date : November 27, 2019

In support of the government's austerity program mandating the judicious and prudent use of public funds, our agency would like to undertake a cost-cutting measure by reducing the monthly charge for our thirty five (35) cable TV.

In view of this, may we respectfully request you to submit to Admin a report containing the number of cable TV you have in your division/region and a justification for having the same.

We hope to receive it by Friday, 06 December.

Thank you very much.

  • Numbers like "thirty-five" are spelled with a hyphen.
  • The plural of "TV" is "TVs".
  • There is a problem of logic in that you would not be reducing the charge for 35 TVs but would be reducing your expenditure for TVs, however many you have, hopefully fewer than 35.
