Overview<\/h3>\n

Memos should only be sent internally to members of your own organization or business, between those with established relationships and shared understanding. Memos should never be sent to external audiences. While memos are often printed on paper, increasingly, organizations send them electronically as email attachments or post them to office intranets. To some degree, electronic memos retain some of the formality and permanence of traditional paper-based correspondence, but also, gains the immediacy and wide reach of email.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Memos can be short, but they can also be longer, more detailed, and comprised of several pages (which may include figures, tables, and graphic organizers).<\/p>\n

Like emails, memos should have informative, specific subject lines, and should use liberal paragraph breaks, graphic highlighting, headings\/subheadings, and other formatting elements to facilitate organization and reading.<\/p>\n

Like letters, memos should have one inch margins, single-spaced body text, extra spaces between paragraphs, and readable font\/s.<\/p>\n

However, beyond the shared conventions above, memos are formatted differently than letters.<\/p>\n
