Just today I wrote a desk-to-desk memo to the hospital's computer supplies sector that read:
Manager:
The referred above, which fed one of our computer printers, burned out. We ask you to please send us a new, more powerful voltage stabilizer."
My boss signed it, but he told me it sounded too "bluntly direct" (to the point) and advised me, "Next time soften it (change the wording to look soft.)"!
