Fourth, the structure and writing of the manual

(1) title

It consists of issuing authority, reason and language. The subject in the title should be clear and the language should be concise. Since "request for instructions" itself contains the meaning of request and application, the words "application" and "request for instructions" should not appear in the title as far as possible.

(2) Text

The body of the request consists of three parts: reasons, matters and usual conclusions.

1. Reason. That is, the reason or basis for asking for instructions. This part of the content should be realistic, well-founded, fully explained and clear-cut. The reason is the key to writing instructions, which is directly related to whether the instructions can be established and the approval attitude of the higher authorities. If the reasons are complicated, you must also state the necessary facts and data. You can't simplify it for brevity, but let the leaders know what the consequences will be if you approve or disapprove this requirement.

2. It matters a lot. That is, the specific content of requesting higher authorities to give or instruct or approve or support and help. Matters should be specific, and the requirements should be feasible and operable. If the content is complicated, write it in columns. The language should be clear and not vague. The tone should be appropriate.

3. Conclusion. Asking for instructions is usually expressed in the conclusion with idioms such as "no, please reply", "please ask for instructions, please approve", "please approve" and "please instruct". This is an indispensable idiom at the end of asking for instructions.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) matters needing attention

1. Pay attention to the difference between reporting and asking for instructions.

This difference is mainly manifested in six aspects:

(1) was written at a different time. Instructions must be written in advance; Reports can be written before, after and during the event.

(2) The purpose and function of writing are different. The purpose of asking for instructions is to ask for the approval, instructions, support and help of superiors, which requires the approval of superiors, with the focus on letters and visits. The purpose of the report is to report the work to the superior, reflect the situation, make suggestions and answer the inquiries of the superior. There is no reply from the superior, and the focus is on the report.

(3) The number of main institutions can be different. Ask for instructions to write only one main delivery organ. In case of disasters, epidemics and other emergencies, when multi-level leading organs need to know as soon as possible, the report can be written to multiple main sending organs.

(4) the writing is different. The contents of the report are complicated, the capacity can be large or small, and the emphasis is on summing up the situation and lessons, with various forms, flexible expression and reportability. For instructions, the content is single, one article and one thing, focusing on explaining reasons, stating reasons, expressing matters and requirements, and the space is small.

(5) Different terms. The conclusion of the report is generally written as "I hereby report", "Please review the above report", or omit the ending idiom. If you ask for instructions, you can't omit the ending idiom. Be sure to write an idiom "Please reply when asking for instructions".

(6) The recipients handle it differently. For instructions, the accepting organ must give a timely reply. Most of the reports are read, except for the recommended report, other reports need not be written by the superiors.

The biggest similarity between report and request is that they are both upper-level languages.

2. Only directly ask for instructions from the superior, not asking for instructions.

3. Don't say too much.

4 shall not be copied to the lower authorities.

5. the language is appropriate. Indicative language cannot be used.

6. Don't abuse the instructions. Any problems and difficulties that can be handled and solved through hard work within the scope of their own functions and powers should be solved as far as possible, and they should not be asked for instructions or handed over to contradictions at will.
