Business Memo Format
The business memorandum is essentially an "internal" business letter. The "memo" as it is usually called, is the key internal communication tool in most businesses and institutions. In fact, the business memo is arguably the most important communications instrument in an organization.
Memoranda are used to: announce, inform, advise, quantify, delegate, direct, discipline, instruct, request and transmit. In short, if something needs to be communicated and/or recorded formally in an organization, it is done with a memo.
In many large organizations the corporate memorandum is the key "power instrument" when it comes to internal politics. Entire careers, and multi-million dollar programs, often hinge on the wording of a single memorandum.
Most large organizations have their own corporate format for their memos. The following is a recommended format for a generic internal business memorandum.

When reviewing this sample memo, please note that I have included a signature line at the bottom. Many organizations don't require this signature line on a memo. I personally believe that a memo should have a signature on the bottom if it is to have maximum impact and credibility.
