We could bring up the case as a sample to demonstrate what we are discussing about. However, adding a question to prove our point is not recommended in academic writing. The subject line information to identify the situation has to be included on the head of the memo. In addition, clarity, correctness, and courtesy are very important and they represent for our efforts.
