  4. MEMO TO: Faculty and Staff FROM: Lenore M. Fielding, Principal DATE: November 15, (Current Year) SUBJECT: STANDARD MEMO FORMAT At a recent meeting, department heads recommended that memos be processed on plain paper instead of preprinted forms. This recommendation is a cost-cutting measure that requires only a little more effort on the part of the keyboard operator. The customary standard margins are used: 2” top margin; default (near 1”) side margins; at least a 1” bottom margin. Standard double spacing separates memo parts, including paragraphs, which are individually single-spaced. If someone other than the writer keys the memo, that person’s initials should be keyed at the left margin a double space below the message. If an attachment or enclosure is included, Attachment or Enclosure should be keyed at the left margin a double space below themessage or the keyboard operator’s initials (if any). Headings begin at left margin. After TO: tab twice to key the name; after FROM: tab once to key the name; after DATE: tab once to key the date; after SUBJECT: space twice (or tab once) to enter the subject (may be keyed in ALL CAPS or C/lc—Cap and lowercase). Please use this format for several days; then let me know if you experienced any difficulties. Xx (your initials)
