Use suitable paper for your memos white bond, either note size or standard to fit most desk in-baskets. This figure shows an example of a properly structured memo.
Some people appear to think that memos, because they're public, are effective management tools. Although memos are effective for direction and suggestion, criticism and praise are best given in person.
Even though the majority of information today is conveyed via e-mail, you still need to use the correct style when sending a memo in the body of an e-mail. When youre conveying larger amounts of information, send that information as a properly formatted memo attachment. The message itself can contain the correct headings, numbered items, and other formatted information that an e-mail does not allow as easily.
heading
The heading of memorandums is designed to allow a reader to understand what he or she is looking at, and decide quickly whether he or she should read it. The heading has four or five parts, appearing in this order. The "subject line" should be brief, but clear. To: From: Subject: Date: cc:
purpose
Because many messages cross a reader's desk (or computer screen) daily, the first thing she is likely to ask upon seeing one is "Should I read this?" The "purpose" section answers that question. A very direct opening like "The purpose of this memo is to ..." is perfectly acceptable. It may be addressed to me.
summary
The summary is a brief recounting of the entire memo, including discussion/background, conclusions, and recommendation. Its placement as the second section allows a reader who does not need to know the details to stop reading.
background/discussion
The discussion/background describes the method by which the conclusion was reached. This section provides details of the subject and the justification for the conclusion. In almost all cases this is the longest section of the memo -- (eg., five paragraphs of an eight-paragraph memo, or two pages of a three-page memo). It is directed to those who need to know details -- laboratory assistants and clerical staff, for instance. In the case of a progress report, this section will include estimated costs, possible personnel, available facilities and supplies. It may take a narrative form.
conclusion/action
This makes some sort of conclusion from the issues and problems described in the "Background/Discussion" section. It also describes where you intend to go from here.
