[1]這句話明顯是中文的痕跡，譯成中文，中國人可以理解，外國人肯定不能。
[2]既然并購就意味著要換公司的名字，怎么是we decide?在商務英語的寫作中，主語一般都選擇客體代詞，避免應用主觀性很強的句子。
[3]Instead 可以直接放在句尾，不用介詞。
[4]這個范圍也太有限了，難道只有和客戶見面才用新名稱么？整句改為：please use the new name officially from then.

[1]這個就不要提了吧，并購成了一家人，沒必要在公司內部的memo中有意提醒。
[2]既然并購就意味著要換公司的名字，怎么是we decide?在商務英語的寫作中，主語一般都選擇客體代詞，避免應用主觀性很強的句子。
[3]沒有具體日期，你讓員工們從什么時候開始用這個新名字？
[4]Use
[5]去掉，這句話是用在信件結尾的，而且，也不能說come to my office. 公司并購，換新名稱，理所應當的，去你的辦公室做什么？

To: All staff
Date: September 20, 2008
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.
_________________________________________
[1]開頭這句改為分詞，following the merger, ....
[2]改為：routine work 或者其他可以表示日常工作的，affairs 一般是指報紙的一周大事記，或者個人事，比如：love affairs 就是桃色事件，第三者插足。

Memo

Date:29 september 2008
Re:The changed[1] name of our company

If you have any question, please connect us. [4]
Thank you!
_________________________________________
[1]過去分詞作定語或狀語都是表示已經結束的動作，如果名字已經改完，就不用有這封memo 了。
[2]改為介詞短語after the merger,
[3]時態錯誤，完成時表示已經了，應該是將來時。
[4]去掉，名字問題毋庸置疑，沒有商量。
