Headings, lists, tables or graphs are often used to make the information more readable. All memos consist of two sections: the heading and the body. Heading: the heading indicates who is writing to whom, when, and why. Introduction - states the general problem or main idea. There are four types of memos you might have to write, each with its own organizational format: information, problem-solving, persuasion, and internal memo proposal.
