• In law, a memorandum is a record of the terms of a transaction or
contract, such as a policy memo, memorandum of
understanding, memorandum of agreement, or memorandum of
association.
• Other memorandum formats include briefing notes, reports, letters,
or binders.
• They may be considered grey literature. In business, a memo is
typically used by firms for internal communication, while letters are
typically for external communication.
• Memorandum formatting may vary by office or institution. If the
intended recipient is a cabinet minister or a senior executive, the
format might be rigidly defined and limited to one or two pages. If
the recipient is a colleague, the formatting requirements are more
flexible.
69. Definition

from Latin memorandum est, "It must be
remembered") is a written message that may
be used in a business office.
70. Essentials of Memorandum
• Do’s and Don’ts of Memo Writing
• Keep these rules in your head as you’re writing the memo, to be on the
safe side.
• Don’t use informal/emotional language: Keep it strictly formal. No slang
words or colloquial language.
• Even if you’re writing about an employee’s inadequate performance, don’t
berate or use sharp words. Be detached but polite in your criticism.
• Do use bullet points: If you have several issues to cover in the body, break
it up using bullet points. This will keep your memo easy to read and
understand quickly.
• Do be succinct: Don’t include unnecessary details or use tons of
adjectives. Ask yourself, “Can I write this sentence in a more clear or direct
way?”
• Don’t forget to review: Even if you’re in a hurry, make sure you carefully
review and proofread your memo before sending it. We’ll provide more in-
depth guidance for proofreading later in this post

– Know your audience
– Sentence structure
– Parts of the memorandum
– Proof read
• Contents
