SAMPLE MEMO Date: To: All Staff From: Company Executive Subject: Employee Commute Options Survey We are conducting a commuting survey this week among all employees. The purpose of the survey is to discover what methods we currently use to commute and what alternative methods are of most interest. The survey is required by Department of Environmental Quality’s Employee Commute Options (ECO) rules. These rules are part of the Portland area clean air plan to keep the air clean in light of air pollution associated with continued growth in the region. ECO requires employers to provide employees with incentives to use alternatives to driving alone to work. The results of the survey will be used by (company name) to design a transportation program that reflects the needs and desires of (company name) employees. We must receive completed surveys back from at least 75 percent of (company name) employees to meet the requirements. The survey will be distributed via e-mail on (date). Please take a couple of minutes to fill out the survey and return in by (date). If you have questions, please talk to (transportation coordinator). We will share the results with you in the employee newsletter when they are completed. Thanks for your participation, Your Executive Huron Intermediate School District Memo To: 6th-12th grade faculty From: Leah Zuidema Date: November 14, 2003 Re: What a memo is and how to write one This memo provides basic information about memos that you may wish to adapt and share with your students. Many teachers are so familiar with memos that we find it difficult to actually explain them to students; this document outlines some of the basics that students need to know. A memo is a short document that members within an organization use to exchange information. To write a memo, consider the needs of your audience, use the inverted pyramid for organization, and support your content with formatting that makes it easy to read. What a memo is Memos are considered to be official documents in most organizations. They are used to ask for information or to call for action, or they are written to report back in response to requests for information or action. Memos are often read by many people. Many memos are written to large groups of people within an organization. Some memos are written to only one person but are passed along (“forwarded”) to other people in the organization who need the information. Because memos are official organizational documents, they are sometimes read by people outside of the organization. Some memos are made public for legal reasons or during court cases. Other times, particularly “juicy” memos are leaked to the press. How to write a memo After you have analyzed your audience and settled on your purpose, you can write a memo by following these steps: 1. Open a new Microsoft Word document and select the memo template, or design a page of your own that looks similar to this one. 2. Before you begin the actual text of the memo, fill in the header. State whom the memo is to, who is writing it, the date that it was written, and a precise and informative subject (labeled “Re:” in this memo). 3. Begin the text of your memo by stating the precise purpose of the memo (why you are writing). Then write a brief but informative summary of your message. The purpose and summary are the most important information to your reader. 4. Write the discussion section of the memo by explaining details and examples that will be essential for your reader to know. It may be helpful to remember to answer the questions who, what, when, where, why, and how. 5. Finish the text of your memo with a call for action or a statement about action you will take. Politely state what you want your reader to do after reading the memo. As you are writing your memo, remember to make use of formatting conventions that will help your readers. Use blockstyle paragraphs, headings, bullets or numbering, and even graphics where appropriate. When you finish the memo and are ready to make it official, hand write your initials next to your name in the “From” line. If you are interested in additional tips on writing memos, please visit the University of Toronto’s website about memos at http://www.ecf.utoronto.ca/~writing/handbook-memo.html. The memo you are reading is based on advice from this website, and you will be able to discover more detailed advice to help you with writing memos.

Running head: MEMO

Eastfield College
Date:
To:

All staff and faculty

From:

The President

Subject:

Charging a parking fee

We have been providing free parking to all the staff and faculty at Eastfield College. The
precise purpose of this memo is to inform both the staff members and the faculty of the
changes concerning free parking. Each staff member and faculty in each department of
the Eastfield College will be charged a certain fee for parking. The charge will only be a
nominal fee of $50 per semester (Giles, Ryder and Lommele, 2016). I know some of the
members may not agree with this change, but it’s necessary that all abide by this new
rule.
However, it should be noted that students will continue to park...
