What is a Memo?

A memo is the short form of a memorandum (The plural form is Memoranda).

A.    Letters are used as a means of communication with other people, companies, or firms.  But a memo is written within an organisation, a company/firm institution, an office, etc.

B.    A memo is written in short.

For example, a managing director can circulate a memo to his employees in order to instruct them about any point.

A School Principal can instruct his staff about any point of concern.

Example:

Suppose you are the Principal of a College. Write a memo to the College staff, especially teachers, instructing them to reach school on time.

S.G.N. College of Education, Narela

Date: 29 May 2022

Memo No: 234/29-05-2-22

To: All the staff-members

From: S. Sawant, the Principal

All the staff members, especially the teachers, are required to pay attention to the habit of late coming to the premises of the college. Some of you have made your regular habit to reach college late even by half an hour. This is a sheer disrespect to the orders issued several times to all in written form. The management office-bearers have also taken a serious view of unpunctuality found in several staff members.

So, if any of the staff members reaches College late in the future, his or her full-day absence would be marked in the attendance register.

In case of any emergency, make a call and send a message to the coordinator well in time.
