I. Introduction of memo

Memos should generally include these parts: recipient, sender, date, subject and body. Specifically:

1, to: memo object

If it's specific to people, it's best to write full names, especially not "duplicate names". For example, Bill and Tom are first names, not surnames. A simple way is to use other people's names, such as Bill Gates, michael scofield and Jay Chou for men and britney spears and Jennifer Aniston for women.

If you express intimacy, you can also abbreviate your name, such as B. Gates, M. Scofield, J. Zhou, B. Spears, J. Aniston, etc. If you write a letter to your superiors, you should also add your respectful name, even your position, such as Mr. Bill Gates, the managing director, and Mr. Jay Chou, the artistic director.

Open punctuation is popular in modern business writing, that is, punctuation can be omitted without affecting understanding, so the ellipsis after Mr./Ms./Mrs. can also be omitted and simply written as Mr./Ms./Mrs., and it is best not to omit the name.

2. From: the author of the memorandum.

The main points are the same as above. Generally, there is no need to be respectful. Only when the other person doesn't know his identity can you add a suffix to the position name.

3. Date: Date

BEC is an exam in Commonwealth countries, and the date is usually written as day, month and year, such as 20021February 7. Pay attention to the month in English, not numbers, so as not to be confused with the date. You can abbreviate it, for example, write January as Jan (or use open punctuation).

Third, the memorandum writing method:

Consider the following factors before writing:

Who will read my memo?

What does the reader already know about this?

What do readers need to know?

How will readers respond to my memo?
