1 Business Communication Document Formatting Letters vs. Memos The letter format is used when the receiver(s) of the correspondence is outside of your company or organization. The memo format is used when the receiver(s) of the correspondence is a member of the company or organization you work for (inter-office correspondence). Formatting Letters Letter Types Personal Business Letters letters written to a business or organization on behalf of YOURSELF. Example: You write a letter of complaint to Dave Smith at the Pepsi Company because you found a mouse tail in the bottom of a can of soda you were drinking. Business Letters letters written by a business/organization to another business/organization or an individual on behalf of the BUSINESS/ORGANIZATION. Example: Dave Smith at Pepsi writes a letter of apology to you based on your letter of complaint. Dave, although writing the letter, is really expressing the opinion of the company he works for. Alignment Formats Block Format All lines in the letter align at the left margin. Modified-Block Format All lines except the date, closing, and signature block align at the left margin. The date, closing, and signature block BEGIN at the center of the page. With Indented Paragraphs Either of the above formats may also include indented paragraphs. Punctuation Formats Open Punctuation NO punctuation following the salutation or closing. Mixed/Standard Punctuation A colon follows the salutation, a comma follows the closing. Page 1
2 Second Pages If a letter extends on to a second, third, etc. page, the second and following pages have a one inch top margin and a header at the top that is left-aligned. That header includes the name of the person receiving the letter, the date, and the page number (in that order, on separate lines). Formatting Memos Format Two common formats for memos are used: standard and simplified. Details for formatting these types of memos are explained more completely in the examples that follow. Second Pages If a memo extends on to a second, third, etc. page, the second and following pages have a one inch top margin and a header at the top that is left-aligned. That header includes the name of the person receiving the memo, the date, and the page number (in that order, on separate lines). Examples Letter & Memo Formats to be used in ITBE Business Letter in Block Format with Open Punctuation 2. Standard Memo Page 2
3 Page 3 Body SS with a DS between paragraphs. Business Letter Block Style with Open Punctuation August 24, 2010 Date Always type out in full. Begins at least ½ below the letterhead. For the purpose of this class we will begin at 2. Ms. Kathryn M. Amsbury Home Care Nursing, P.C Crestridge Drive Hopkins, MN Address Block Includes the name, organization, and address of the person receiving the letter. Should appear a QS below the date. One or two spaces are typed after the state abbreviation. We will use one! Dear Ms. Amsbury Salutation As you requested, I shall be happy to meet with you on August 30 at 10 a.m. to review your copy needs. I am confident that we have just the right copier for you. Please come to my office at our new address, which is shown in the letterhead above. Bring some figures relating to your volume of copying as well as information about size and color needs. After determining your needs, we can then visit our adjoining showroom so that you can select the model that will be best for you. HiTech is dedicated to providing up-to-date office services in the greater Twin Cities area. Our new, expanded facilities will help us achieve that goal. I have enclosed a brochure about the company that may answer any questions you have. Sincerely yours Closing David G. Kramer Customer Relations Associate dls Enclosure c: John Smith Reference Initials the initials of the typist (not the writer) Signature Block title either next to the name, separated by a comma or typed below the name as here. Which you use is determined by length. Name appears a QS below the closing. Enclosure Notation included if another item(s) is being sent along with the letter. Copy Notation included if a copy of the letter is being sent to someone other than the stated recipient.
4 Page 4 Memorandums Standard Memo in Block Style Memorandum Memorandum title May not be necessary if your company has letterhead for memos. If letterhead is used the top margin should be at least ½ below the letterhead. If no letterhead is used, the top margin should be approximately 1 ½ 2. TO: Curtis Marlowe, Home Designs FROM: Doug Nestell, Sales Director DATE: October 18, 2010 SUBJECT: TIMBER CREEK SITE Memo headings format can vary. Some formats bold the headings (to, from, etc.), some do not capitalize the subject line, some align the headings based on the colon. We will use the format suggested here. The subject line should be followed by a triple space. Some observations seem appropriate now that the laying of wiring and conduits for Phase I of the Timber Creek site is being finalized. It is my understanding that a high percentage of Timber Creek residents likely will be first-time home buyers. Cost will be an important criterion; but on the basis of our previous experience with this type of development, other factors should be considered. Our model homes should reflect today s informal life-style. The use of a great room rather than both a family room and a living room is one way to reduce costs. Also, since both the husband and wife in most homes will work outside the home, there should be two-car garages. We have also found that many people like the option of leaving certain areas unfinished; these can be finished later as the family grows and as finance permit. I shall be happy to meet with you to discuss these concerns. dls Reference Initials the initials of the typist Note: Both standard and simplified formats can include Enclosure and/or Copy notations just like letters. Both are formatted in the same manner as letters.

October 18, 2010 Curtis Marlowe, Home Designs TIMBER CREEK SITE Date Triple space after the Memorandum title Quadruple space follows it Receiver of the Memo double space follows it Subject line can be in all caps or in initial caps with bold formatting followed by a double space Some observations seem appropriate now that the laying of wiring and conduits for Phase I of the Timber Creek site is being finalized.
