How would you explain the difference between memo and email?
Answer :
A memo, also known as a memorandum, is a formal written communication typically used
within an organization to inform employees of policies, procedures, or other important
information. Memos are usually used for more serious or complex topics than emails.
Email, on the other hand, is a more informal electronic communication that can be used for both
internal and external communication. Emails are often used for messages that are routine or not
very important.
The following is a table that summarizes the key differences between memos and emails:
