Memo Writing Ms. Liapis
Reasons for Writing • Purpose of the business memorandum (commonly referred to as a memo) • Allow timely communication to a large number of employees or other members of an organization. • Memos are used for a wide variety of purposes: • To convey information such as policy changes, promotions or other personnel changes, a project status update, or increased offering of products and services. - They can also be used to request that employees attend a meeting or make changes to work procedures or practices, or they can address a problem, such as employee tardiness or absence, or provide feedback on a product or program.
Preparing a Memo • Think about your intended audience • The tone of a memo is generally fairly formal, so choose your wording appropriately. It is inappropriate to be too informal (using slang, for example), but don't be wordy or flowery, either. • Be conciseness and clear used • Use active rather than passive voice whenever possible
