Good evening everyone, Today allow me the opportunity to answer the question above.
A) Difference between email and memo.
Before explaining between memo and emails, I will first define both. 1) Memo A memo (or memorandum, meaning “reminder”) is normally used for communicating policies, procedures, or related official business within an organization. It is often written from a one-to-all perspective (like mass communication), broadcasting a message to an audience, rather than a one-on-one, interpersonal communication. Key elements of a memo include: Date Subject line Thesis statement Introductory paragraph Body paragraphs Conclusion 2) Email Electronic mail, widely known as “email,” is by volume the most popular written communication channel in the history of human civilization. With emails being so cheap and easy to send on desktop and laptop computers, as well as on mobile phones and tablets. Most are for business purposes because email is such a flexible channel ideal for anything from short, routine information shares, requests, and responses the length of a text, to important formal messages delivering the content that letters and memo used to handle. Key elements of an email include: Subject line Recipient Message Content Signature Attachments Here are some of the key similarities and differences between emails and memo: A) Components Emails often include carbon copy (cc) and blind carbon copy (bcc) components. This is helpful for professionals who want to add recipients to an email without adding their information to the received message header. Memo typically excludes cc and bcc components. This is often due to the memo's formal nature and affects all individuals included in the distribution list. B) Nature of writing Emails often start with a friendly greeting and end with a warm salutation. Sometimes, senders also convey information through multiple emails as they gather more data, ask more questions, and develop their inquiries. Memo frequently has more formal writing with stricter style guides and professional language. This can help prevent any confusion and relay crucial information efficiently in one message. C) Features Emails have many additional features that can enhance readability and email scalability. This might include short paragraphs, bullet points or changing margins to help readers scan and retain information easily. Memo often use columns and different headings to emphasize certain points throughout the document. This can help readers understand the important portions of the memo and retain that information for later. D) Closing Emails also frequently include a closing statement. This might involve a summary of the email's information or might remind readers what to accomplish. Memo often exclude this portion but occasionally include a conclusion paragraph.
