Writing Business Memos

 

Definition of a Memo

A memo is a document typically used for communication within a company. memos can be as formal as a business letter and used to present a report.

However, the heading and overall tone make a memo different from a business letter. Because you generally send memos to co-workers and colleagues, you do not have to include a formal salutation or closing remark.
