Re: How to write a memo
You should get right to the point in any memo. Be personal by using “I,” “you,” “we.” Write as if you were having a real conversation. If you speak in contractions, write in contractions. You’ll notice a difference in tone.
Don’t use really technical lingo that will convolute the readers mind. Don’t tack on fancy endings to simple words that will cause confusion in the conveyance of your message. Keep paragraphs short and to the point, but never make errors.
Close with a request for action that requires the reader to do something.
