A memo is by it's nature an informal communication dispersed among a group of people. However, there is both a formal and a more informal way in which to word the salutation and body of the memo.
In order to write a formal letter, it is important to know the basic steps. Start by writing the complete address at the upper right corner of the page. Second, at the left side below one's contact information, provide the name together with the job position, and office address of the recipient of the letter. Next double space and then write the date and then provide a salutation including the title of the addressee such as Atty for lawyer. Now, state your reason for writing the letter. Once you are done with the body, then write the words of gratitude. Finally, to conclude, double space and provide a formal salutation above the name of the person who wrote the letter. Hope this helps.
"Sincerely" is the most neutral close that is used in correspondence. "Sincerely yours" would be used for a more formal complimentary close. (Please note; "Whenever the letter writer adds the word "yours" to their complimentary close, it tends to make the close more formal. You would use this more formal form if your letter were addressed to a dignitary or high-ranking official.) "Warm wishes" or "Best wishes" ~ are both comparable to "Regards and Best Regards" and are considered to be an informal type of close. It would be appropriate to use an informal close if you are on a first-name basis and have a friendly, personal relationship and/or a long-term business/working relationship. Hope this helps! :)
