The memorandum (or memo) is arguably the single most important form of written communication in the business world. It all begins with: To, From, Subject, and Date. The context and structure of the memo can derive a dense amount of information in a very small package. It is essential that said information is presented in a concise and clear manner. In the business world, much like the mathematical world, the shortest distance to a point is a straight line. Its imperative than when discussing issues in a memo the subject is always kept in the scope, tangents are cut to a minimum and the presentation of information is organized in such a way to be easily and quickly comprehended.
It is not an easy task to accurately convey this information in such a precise and definitive manner. Due deligence is required and constant fact checking to ensure that the information is correct, and up to spec.
