What is Memorandum (Memo)?



A memorandum is a document that is used to communicate information within an organization. It is typically used to communicate information that is confidential or sensitive in nature. Memos can be used to communicate information about new policies, procedures, or initiatives. They can also be used to communicate information about upcoming events or deadlines. 
Memos are also typically written to provide information, make a request, or announce a change. Although they are not as formal as a letter, memos should still be clear and concise.
