    TOPIC FORMAL & INFORMAL MEMO
    MEMORANDUM

    A memorandum, more commonly known as a memo, is a short message or


    record used for internal communication in a business. Once the primary
    form of internal written communication, memorandums have declined in
    use since the introduction of email and other forms of electronic
    messaging; however, being able to write clear memos certainly can serve
    you well in writing internal business emails, as they often serve the same
    purpose.
    FORMAT OF MEMORANDUM
    PARTS OF MEMO

    There are mainly five parts of a memorandum. They are

     Heading Segment
     Opening Segment
     Context
     Task Segment
     Summary Segment
     Discussion Segment
     Closing Segment
     Necessary Attachments
    PURPOSE OF MEMORANDUM

    A person writes a memo with some purposes in mind. It is used


     To inform.
     To inquire.
     One can use it to report.
     To give suggestions.
     To remind.
     One can use it to instruct.
     One can promote goodwill using a memo.
     To communicate the ideas.
    FORMAL MEMO

    Formal memos are similar to legal memo format samples in which it uses
    the full name of the recipient; the tone is formal just like in formal letters.
    On the other hand, informal memo is used by close associates in the
    workplace; given names are used in addressing the person.
    INFORMAL MEMO

    Informal memos may be used to report on something that is not of high


    importance, or present information to a small number of people or in a less
    formal setting. When writing an informal memo, be professional and keep
    it short and to the point. An informal memo should be about one page and
    include the necessary information.
