So, what is memo?

A memo is

a hard-copy (sent on paper) document

used for communicating inside an organization

it is a way to help remind about something

Why do we write memos?

Memos are useful in situations where e-mails or text messages are not suitable.

if you are sending an object, such as a book or a paper that needs to be signed, through internal office mail, you can use a memo as a covering note to explain what the receiver should do.

How to write a memo

Memos should have the following sections and content:

A 'To' section containing the name of the receiver

A 'From' section containing the name of the sender.

A 'Date' section

A Subject Heading

Signature (This is optional)

Sample Memo Format / TemplateMemo

• To:From:Date: Subject:

• First Sentence:Reason for the memo

• Second Sentence - Main Body:Any Instructions or information

• Closing SentenceWhat is required of the reader e.g. Confirmation, answers or feedback
