how do you prepare your draft memo or letter

I usually write it in rough first then type it and print it. Before I used computers I hand wrote most letters but then when I got my first computer, a desk top one, I typed most of my letters. I liked my handwriting more in the days I didn't use a computer. Now I am so used to writing rough notes my handwriting isn't as neat as it should be. When I taught in one school there was a new move to making four year olds learn cursive writing. So I had to write in the way the school wanted. Nowadays I write in my own handwriting and type on my laptop.
