TO: ALL STAFF
FROM: MANAGER
SUBJECT: CHANGE THE COMPANY NAME
As you know,(our company has merged last week)[1]. We decide to change the name. [2] From July. 8th the company name changes to MasonGolding.
Please pay attention to use the new name for[3] instead when you have a meeting with client. [4]
Thank you
修改：
[1]這句話(huà)明顯是中文的痕跡，譯成中文，中國(guó)人可以理解，外國(guó)人肯定不能。
[2]既然并購(gòu)就意味著要換公司的名字，怎么是we decide?在商務(wù)英語(yǔ)的寫(xiě)作中，主語(yǔ)一般都選擇客體代詞，避免應(yīng)用主觀(guān)性很強(qiáng)的句子。
[3]Instead 可以直接放在句尾，不用介詞。
[4]這個(gè)范圍也太有限了，難道只有和客戶(hù)見(jiàn)面才用新名稱(chēng)么？整句改為：please use the new name officially from then.

Thank you!
修改：
[1]這個(gè)就不要提了吧，并購(gòu)成了一家人，沒(méi)必要在公司內(nèi)部的memo中有意提醒。
[2]既然并購(gòu)就意味著要換公司的名字，怎么是we decide?在商務(wù)英語(yǔ)的寫(xiě)作中，主語(yǔ)一般都選擇客體代詞，避免應(yīng)用主觀(guān)性很強(qiáng)的句子。
[3]沒(méi)有具體日期，你讓員工們從什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始用這個(gè)新名字？
[4]Use
[5]去掉，這句話(huà)是用在信件結(jié)尾的，而且，也不能說(shuō)come to my office. 公司并購(gòu)，換新名稱(chēng)，理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)�，去你的辦公室做什么？

Our company has merged with Mason. co recently. [1]The new name " MasonGolding" will take effect on October 1st. Please use the new name in your daily affairs[2] from then on. Thanks for your cooperation.
修改：
[1]開(kāi)頭這句改為分詞，following the merger, ....
[2]改為：routine work 或者其他可以表示日常工作的，affairs 一般是指報(bào)紙的一周大事記，或者個(gè)人事，比如：love affairs 就是桃色事件，第三者插足。

Re:The changed[1] name of our company

Thank you!
修改：
[1]過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)都是表示已經(jīng)結(jié)束的動(dòng)作，如果名字已經(jīng)改完，就不用有這封memo 了。
[2]改為介詞短語(yǔ)after the merger,
[3]時(shí)態(tài)錯(cuò)誤，完成時(shí)表示已經(jīng)了，應(yīng)該是將來(lái)時(shí)。
[4]去掉，名字問(wèn)題毋庸置疑，沒(méi)有商量。

修改：
[1]好羅嗦的原因啊，董事會(huì)的決定你就不用提了。
[2]太長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，也太不具體。
