TITLE OF THE MEMO

The most important section in memos is the body. Basically, the body has four main
parts: introduction, statement of facts, argument, and conclusion. Firstly, the introduction
explains the issue or main idea that is discussed in the memo. Then, providing facts is a
more elaborate presentation of the topic. In this case, this part identifies the specific areas
of interest that the author intends to address. Moreover, the author provides his or her
argument based on the provided facts and explains a personal perspective on the topic.
Finally, the conclusion may either be a summary of the main topic or a call for action. In
turn, the number of paragraphs is not constant but varies depending on the purpose of the
memos.

Memos employ a formal communication tone and style. In this case, memos should be
highly informative but concise. Also, the authors use the language in the document that
should be formal and straightforward to ensure clarity in communication. On the other
hand, wordy sentences and unnecessarily long paragraphs should be avoided.
