Memos are mainly used for inter-office, institutional or organizational communication; however, increasingly, the memo letter format is being used for formal, external communications as well as in informal, internal communications. If the memo is used for inter-office purposes, leave out the “Dear” salutation and the “Yours truly” complimentary closure, and initial the memo to the right of your name. Check out the sample memo form below.

Fashion shoot on January 3, 2017
Dear Sophia:
It was great talking to you on the phone the other day, and I want to confirm the arrangements we made for the fashion shoot.
As we briefly discussed, the shoot will feature all of your upcoming Spring Kuku Designs collection, and we will be using the Central Park Zoo for our location. We are supplying all models, props and equipment, and we will be picking up all clothing from you on January 25 — a list of which you will be sending me this week (as we arranged).
I will call you as soon as I receive your clothing list. At that time, I would love for us to have lunch together. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
(Just use your signature here, since your name is listed above.)
