Even in this age of emails and electronic communication, business memos still have their place. Business memos can provide a higher level of authority and formality than a simple email, but only if they are formatted properly. Taking the time to format your business memos properly can add to their appeal and make them more useful to your employees and other contacts.

Type the name of the recipient of the memo. Go to the next line and type the date of the memo.

Go to the next line and type the page number. Type the remainder of your memo.
