A business memo is a short document used to communicate information or action within an organization. The templates below provide layouts for announcements, requests and updates. A memo should help readers understand the main point quickly.
View the templates and existing download links below.
Choosing the right format
Use a memo for an internal message with a defined audience and purpose. An external formal letter may need a different structure. Select a layout with readable headings and enough space for the necessary information rather than aiming for a fixed length.
Details to include
- To, From, Date and specific Subject
- Purpose, essential information and requested action
- Deadline, contact and attachments where relevant
How to use the template
- State the main message in the opening paragraph.
- Organize supporting details and identify who must act.
- Check dates, recipients and attachments before circulation.
Worked example
Subject: Monthly inventory check. State the date, who is responsible and where results should be sent. Keep unrelated background out of the action instructions.
Download and printing notes
Check the destination and file format of each existing download before using it. Some samples link to an external resource; its availability and terms are controlled by that provider.
