memorandum

A memorandum, often called a memo, is a written message used within an organization to communicate information, ideas, or official decisions. It is typically short, focused, and directed to colleagues or team members to share updates, request actions, or clarify policies. Memos help ensure clear and consistent communication without the need for formal reports or meetings. They are usually structured with a header, a clear message body, and a closing, making complex information easier to understand and refer back to when needed.
