Parts of a Memo

· To: This includes a list of all the people who will receive the memo. The names usually appear in order of seniority, where the most superior person comes first on the list. It is best to list full names and titles although in a smaller set-up using only first names may be acceptable.

· From: This will list the name of the sender or senders.

· Date: State the exact date when the memo is being written, including the day, month and year. Use business English and abstain from the use of short forms.

· Subject: This states the reason for the memo and should not exceed one sentence.

· CC: This will mention the names of the people who will receive this memo but will not be expected to carry out the action. This is generally used for superiors who need to be informed of the intra-office memos even if they are not directly concerned with them.

· The Body: The main copy will give a list of facts and discuss the issue. The facts have to be explained in a manner that is relevant to the recipients so they know exactly how they stand to benefit or lose in regards to the given piece of information. Although the memo looks like a short piece of text you cannot overlook proofreading or using a grammar checker.

· Conclusion: State the specific action that needs to be carried out.

& A Business Contract

A business contract is a legally binding agreement between two parties for an exchange of services that are of value. For a contract to be valid, an offer must be made and accepted. Using a contract in business dealings helps ensure an agreement is acted on, insofar as a broken contract could result in a lawsuit or out-of-court settlement and the payment of damages caused by the breach. The best way to avoid a dispute or potential litigation, however, is to craft a solid agreement in which you’re confident you’ve negotiated the best terms for your business.

A business contract is often used for:

• Hiring or being employed as an independent contractor
• Buying or providing services or goods
• Leases and real estate
• Selling your business
• Partnerships and joint ventures
• Franchising
• Confidentiality agreements
• Noncompete agreements

A business contract should be labeled "contract" or "agreement" at the top. These are some items it can include:
