When creating a memo, you should follow these guidelines:
- Single space the paragraphs in the memo.
- Send copies to anyone who is affected by the memo.
- Keep the paragraph lengths short.
- Get to the point at the beginning of the memo.
You should not do the following:
- Do not send copies to people who were mentioned in the memo. (This is a poor practice; affected individuals should receive copies.)
- Write very long sentences. (This can lead to confusion and is generally discouraged; clarity is key in memos.)
