with three or more paragraphs, it is advisable to begin each with a heading in capital letters to tell what the paragraph is about.

Another practice is numbering the paragraphs for easy reference later on.5. Carbon copyThis is written as c.c. for short. As in a letter, it lists the persons who are also receiving the memo.6. SignatureOnly the initial is needed, The office and name in print of the writer are omitted. In more casual memos there is no signature at all.Any thought on my notes? Anything to add?
