Memos, e-mails and notes

Tip

When we write a note we usually use a very informal style and write in very short or incomplete sentences. We do not always use definite or indefinite articles. When we write an e-mail we use the form of a letter. We usually use an informal style in personal e-mails and formal style for business e-mails. We usually use memos in companies and offices to pass on information to employees. We use a formal, factual style.

Examples

E-mail

Dear Sally,

Thanks for inviting us to your party last weekend, we both had a great time.

I'm including the photos we took in an attachment. There's a great one of you and Jim in front of the pool.

We're having a party for Frank's birthday next month and we'd love it if you could come. I'll let you know the details later.

Take care,

Sharon
