The primary purpose of memos is to communicate policies, procedures, or announcements within an organization.
Memos differ from emails in that memos are typically used for internal communication and are more formal, while emails are used for both internal and external communication and are often less formal.
The scope of memos is usually limited to a specific department, team, or group within an organization.
Memos are distinct from circulars in that memos are used for internal communication, while circulars are used for external communication.
