Dialogue: Sharing Information about a Memo



A: Hey, Malcom. You can’t keep your bike there. You are going to have to move it.

B: Why not? It’s out of the way here.

A: But it’s blocking the fire exit. Didn’t you get the memo?

B: Memo? What memo?

A: The safety and security memo. It was sent out yesterday.

B: Oh. I haven’t checked my mail yet. What did it say?

A: It just said that we had to keep the fire exits clear for safety reasons. The memo specifically mentioned leaving bikes in the hallways by the exits.

B: Oh! Darn! Well, I guess I’d better move it then. That’s too bad! It was really convenient.

A: Yeah, I’m keeping my bike in my office now.

B: I guess that’s what I’ll have to do. What else did the memo say?

A: We were asked to keep the back doors locked at all times. They don’t want any unauthorized people entering the building.

B: That makes sense.
