Option C is the most effective closing sentence for a memo or email message making a request because it is clear and specific about what is being requested and when it is needed by. It also uses polite language by using the word "please". Option A is too vague and does not provide a deadline, while option B is specific about the deadline but lacks polite language. Option D is too general and does not provide a specific timeline.
