Deadline: Due 6/10/11. All assignments are due by 11:55 p.m. PDT on the assigned due date.
Length: Probably 1 single-spaced page each. The executive summary may be shorter than that, possibly half a page to a page.. It may range from a few paragraphs to a full 1-2 pages long, depending on the final length of your report.
Format: The letter or memo of transmittal should be addressed to me. Either a letter or a memo of transmittal will be fine.
Since both of these documents are customarily written after the report is complete, you will need to work on the rough draft of your report this week so that you can summarize it in the Executive Summary and transmit it through the Letter of Transmittal. Your Executive Summary and Letter of Transmittal might change somewhat once you've written the final draft of your report.
See the lecture on the Executive Summary and Letter of Transmittal for more specific guidelines.
For an example of letters or memos of transmittal, see p. 237 and p. 312.
