How to write a Memo

A memo (short for "interoffice memorandum") is a business form of communication. It is usually sent to someone else who works in your same firm. The top of the memo always includes the date, the names of the writer and the receiver of the memo, and the subject of the memo. It will look like this:

Feb 2, 2007

TO: Dr. Grant and Dr. Satler

FROM: Maria Marquez, Research Assistant

SUBJECT: Linkable Websites for Dinosaurs.com
------------------------------------------------------------

I recommend the following Websites for Dinosaurs.com to link to:

  • Title of Site
  • URL (http:// etc.)
  • Reasons you recommend it.

Your writing should be simple, clear, and complete. A memo should be two pages at most.
