Paper Note Memo Format
This is the typical “From the desk of . . . ” paper memo, and despite the onslaught of computer-generated correspondence in today’s workforce, it is still widely used. This handwritten memo style is quick, personal, and effective. It serves a dual purpose: It shows your reader that you care enough to send a personal note, and it also spares both you and your reader from having to spend one more moment reading yet another e-mail. Here is a sample:
A note memo should be only a few sentences long at the most, and is also used only for very informal correspondence. You wouldn’t want to handwrite an entire report for a client, for example, just to make it seem more personal. Use your computer for that.
Standard Memo Format
The standard memo format has been around for a long time, and it is still in full use. And now, with the development of computer software programs, a variety of memo templates have been made available for today’s workforce. So, unless your company is very particu- lar about the memo style you use, you can safely choose from any of the templates in your word processing program.
In a standard memo format, you can organize the body of your memo in whatever way gets your message across clearly and simply. Typical formatting tools include bullets, numbers, subheadings, or just plain text. Whatever memo format you use, be sure to include the date, a to and a from, names of all people receiving a copy, and the subject for easy reference. The following is standard memo format:
One major difference between standard paper memos and e-mail memos is length: Paper memos can be longer, while e-mail memos should be kept as short as possible to make it easier on the eyes of the reader.
Memo Reports
Although the word report usually connotes a lengthy, detailed document, the fact is that a report can come in all shapes and sizes. It can be big or small, short or long, and it can be written in a variety of formats: Letter, memo, transmittal, company fill-in forms, credit, or progress are a few examples.
Bigger, more formal reports generally include an executive summary, a statement of pur- pose, relevant data, formulae, tables, graphs, charts, procedures, conclusions, recommen- dations, and subsequent steps—anything and everything that will help your case. Reports of this magnitude should not be sent casually as an attachment in a random e-mail. Reserve these for a planned meeting, for example, where everyone can sit face-to-face and examine the details together.
The smaller, everyday memo reports that are used in a million ways every day can include some of the same elements as their larger counterparts, such as tables, charts, graphs, and so on. But, unless that kind of supporting evidence can be contained in about a two-page memo, it should either be sent as an attachment or as a Web page reference.
Sample Memo Report
TO: Claudia Syahraza FROM: Luis Atmaja DATE: April 30, 2022 SUBJECT: RE: Proposal submission Dear Claudia, On behalf of Star Communications, I am pleased to submit this proposal. We have given much consideration to what information is required to advise Paster Industries as to how it can better retain employees. The recommendations issued in our final report and the consulting services offered in Part III of our proposal will guide Paster in the creation of compelling new employee outreach programs and loyalty strategies. As you will see from our history of work with hundreds of companies, our organization is not new to the field of employee relations. In addition, we have had significant experience working with government agencies and public institutions, as well as organizations that require the utmost sensitivity to this matter. Our track record speaks for itself. But, more importantly, our extensive background enables us to build on our past experiences, on tried and proven analy- sis techniques, and on our unique ability to apply what we know about various programs and strategies to the needs and priorities of Paster Industries. Let me assure you that if Star Communications is chosen to conduct this project for Paster Industries, I will personally commit my own time and effort to the design, execution, and reporting of this important project. |
