* Does not need to be signed, but sometimes has the sender's name at the bottom to be more friendly, or the sender's full name to be more formal. If in doubt, follow your company style
(No necesita ser firmado, peroa veces tiene el nombre del remitente en la parte inferior para ser más amigable, o el nombre completo del remitente a ser más formal. En caso de duda, siga el estilo de la empresa)
Why Write Memos?
Memos are useful in situations where e-mails or text messages are not suitable. For example, if you are sending an object, such as a book or a paper that needs to be signed, through internal officemail, you can use a memo as a covering note to explain what the receiver should do.
(Notas son útiles en situaciones en las que e-mails o mensajes de texto no son adecuados. Por ejemplo, si usted está enviando un objeto, como un libro o un documento que debe ser firmado, a través del correo interno de la oficina, puede utilizar una nota como una nota de presentación para explicar lo que elreceptor debe hacer.)
Memos should have the following sections and content:
1. A 'To' section containing the name of the receiver. For informal memos, the receiver's given name; e.g. 'To: Andy' is enough. For more formal memos, use the receiver's full name. If the receiver is in another department, use the full name and the department name.  It is usually not necessary to use Mr., Mrs., Miss or Msunless the memo is very formal.
2. 2. A 'From' section containing the name of the sender. For informal memos, the sender's other name; e.g. 'From: Bill' is enough. For more formal memos, use the sender's full name. If the receiver is in another department, use the full name and the department name. It is usually not necessary to use Mr., Mrs., Miss or Ms unless the memo is very formal.
3.3. A 'Date' section. To avoid confusion between the British and American date systems, write the month as a word or an abbreviation; e.g. 'January' or 'Jan'.
