Colleen Said:

who could give me advice for this question and I don't know how to write memorandum either?? pls, answer me.

We Answered:

You seem to be intimidated by the word "memorandum". In actual fact a memorandum or "memo" in common usage is a note-form document that is actually less standard in it's form that a letter or CV, for example.
Your boss just wants a report about the complaints and your input on possible solutions.

How do you write a memorandum?

We Answered:

A memorandum or memo for short is commonly understood to be an official document originating from an office. There are various types of memos
Notes On Writing A Memorandum

A memorandum is generally made up of three parts. These being: Introduction, Body and Conclusion. Many office memos come in a standard and pre-approved format. The headings in a standard format are: To, From, Date, Subject and Reference. The memo may be addressed to an individual or a group of individuals. They are usually addressed by position or designation. Including a name and title if it is addressed to an individual is an accepted practice.


Below the headings are the introduction, body and conclusion. In the introduction, the purpose or why the memo is being written and what would be focus of attention would be explained. The body will provide details of the subject such as what is the issue, what are the implications and other considerations including options. The conclusion will state what needs to be done, by whom and when.


The memo needs be brief, to the point and clear. The general rule is one idea or issue per memo. If many ideas or issues need to be communicated, it would be better to call for a meeting or discussion. The target audience must be kept in sight. Key questions such as why the memo is being written, what needs to be conveyed and what is the expected outcome must be constantly kept in mind. This must be done before writing the memo, while it is being written and after it is completed.

Be economical with words. Use simple language. Use the active voice. Use active verbs. The reader wants to read the document and move on to what needs to be done. Use the correct titles before the name such as Mr., Mrs., Ms., and so on.

how would you write a memorandum to staff about a social event at wrk?

We Answered:

It depends on what information you want to convey.

You could just say something like:

Hello all

Just to let you know/remind you (delete as necessary according to the situation) that we are holding a (insert type of event) on (date) at (time) in (place).

Everyone is welcome but I would also like to remind staff that general standards of good workplace behaviour still apply.

Looking forward to seeing you all at what I am sure will be a very enjoyable event.

i need some help i have most of my assignment done but i have no idea how to write a memorandum for this?

We Answered:

Write it just like a report, only use memo headings (to, from, subject, date) and leave contact info in the closing ("I hope this fulfills the requirements for this assignment, if you have questions, contact me at ...."). If it's long, use a heading structure.

Bobby Said:

How do I write a memorandum directed at my supervisor and his boss after been treated unprofesionally by him?

We Answered:

You can write a memo address it to all chain of command and keep one for records and also file a complaint with EEEO because that is a hostile work enviroment.

GOOD LUCK!!
