Examples of memorandums

Answer 1

A memorandum (or memo) is an abbreviated form of a written business communication, usually reserved for use within a company, agency, or organization. The body of the memo has the same content as the body of a business letter. The difference is that a return address and inside address are not required as a memo is normally sent/delivered by an internal mail handling system.

Example format:

TO: name and title of recipient (include location or department if necessary).

FROM: name and title of sender (include location or department if necessary).

DATE:

REFERENCE: state the topic of the memorandum.

BODY: the information being communicated.

It is not necessary for the sender to sign a memo, however, some companies, agencies, or organizations may require it.

In most business settings, the memorandum has been replaced with email, which uses the same format as a memo.
