HOW TO CREATE A MEMO
Memos are single-spaced documents with double spacing between the paragraphs. 
Heading:  The word “MEMO” should be typed 1 ½ inches from the top of the page. Word automatically inserts one inch of space, so all you have to do is add another 3 blank lines before beginning to type. 
After typing the heading, leave 2 blank lines and begin by typing the word To: 
To:		Recipient’s name and job title
From:		Your name and job title
Date:		Complete date (example:  June 4, 2008)
Subject:	Concise statement of what the memo is about

Body:  The body of the memo contains the information you wish to convey. If you are providing information, you should group similar information together. Memos are not letters. They should be precise and to the point.

Closing:  Include a closing paragraph with a courteous ending that states the action you want your reader to take. Your memo will be more effective if you explain how the reader will benefit from the action and how you are making the action easier for the reader. For example, you might close with a sentence such as “Your approval of this plan will allow my committee to move forward on this vital project, and I will be glad to stop by your office on Tuesday to answer any questions you may have as you make your decision.”

Attachments:  If you need to attach documentation materials to support your memo, list the documents in the attachments section (here).
