Recommendation:
This memo presents my impressions of the
meeting last week.
In general, I felt that the meeting went well
and much progress was made.
Barb and Jeff were able to make progress on
the graphics and should have them finished
next week.
Kyle and Sandy are on Chapter 2 of the user
manual.
Kyle will meet with Jeff to see how they want
the graphics integrated into the text.
• A Directive Memo states a policy or procedure 
you want the reader or co- worker to follow.
   
• The length of the memo depends on how much 
space is required to properly explain the 
procedure.
• Response memos provide information to their 
audience. 
• The format is divided into four sections.
• One way to identify a response memo is that 
instead of having a "Subject:" line you have an 
"RE:" line, just like when you directly reply to an 
email. 
• If your employment sometimes involves working
offsite, you may end up writing field report
memos.
• These memos are often composed to document
meeting clients offsite, inspecting offsite projects,
or testing products offsite.
• Another common type of memo you may draft is a
status memo, sometimes called a progress
report , which simply explains the status or
progress of a particular assignment or project to a
supervisor.
• Operational Memo
• Dress Code Memos
• Form Memos
• Cover Memos

Business Memo Types and Structure

Editor's Notes
