Corporate Communication Project: Internal Memo

The Internal Memo clearly instructs the recipient what to do or know, or it makes a clear request. The most important information is front loaded and the organization is logical. Content reflects the six C's

The Internal memo is primarily for a specific employee group but remains sensitive to its potential effects on unintended audiences. The language, salutation, and valediction reflect the appropriate relationship between sender and recipient.

The Internal Memo accepts responsibility to a degree that is appropriate to the situation. It does not mislead but also does not divulge uncertain or potentially erroneous information.

The Internal Memo's grammar and spelling reflect the conventions of Edited American English.

The Internal Memo is single spaced with line breaks between paragraphs and contains the genre's expected formal elements in the expected order: Header (to, from, date, specific subject line); Salutation (greeting); Body; Contact information for questions/concerns; Valediction (closing or sign off); Attachments (if appropriate).
