Memorandum writing

1. Writing MemoWriting Memo

2. What is Memo?
A memo is a document typically used for
communication within a company.

3. However, the heading and overall tone
make a memo different from a business
letter.
As we generally send memos to co-workers
and colleagues, we do not have to include a
formal salutation or closing remark.

4. Some necessary points to remember
while writing a memo:
-Memos are almost always used within an
organization.
-Memos are usually unceremonious in style.
-Memos are normally used for non-sensitive
communication (communication to which the
reader will not have an emotional reaction).

5. Memos are short and to-the-point.
Memos have a direct style.
Memos do not have a salutation.
Memos do not have a complimentary
closing.

procedure. The new procedure is as follows:

2. Complete the form by filling in all the blanks in the Employee Section of the form.
3. Have your immediate supervisor approve your request by signing on the Supervisor
