Part 4: Business Letters, Memorandums and E-mails

language that lets the reader know the exact purpose of writing
the memorandum. For instance, you can say: "According to our
findings,..., according to a research done by….., it can be inferred
that".

g- Choose an appropriate font style and size:

The memorandum should be easy to be read, so avoiding
excessively small fonts is key. So, 11 or 12 point is a standard. A
simple but a formal font style should be chosen e.g. Times New
Roman. Fonts like 'Comic Sans', which looks informal must be
avoided.

h- Utilise standard margins:

Standard margins can be one inch margins, which are
typical for business memorandums. Some word-processing
programmes may include pre-formatted memorandum templates
with slightly wider margins e.g. 1.25 inches.

i- Single-space the lines:

The memorandum's title can be left-justified or centred. In
order to keep the page number down, single-spacing should be
considered, and spaces between individual paragraphs or sections
should be left.

A practical and approximate way for writing a correct
memorandum can be by examining the received business
memorandum and copying its same formatting.
