    This memo discusses the purpose and structure of memos and paragraphs. Memos are used to inform readers efficiently about specific information and can be written to inform, persuade, or provide feedback. Well-written memos follow a standard format including a heading with date, to/from, subject, and text divided into an introduction, body, and conclusion. Paragraphs are collections of related sentences around a single topic and are important for focus and readability. Good paragraphs have unity, coherence, and balance, with a topic sentence, body sentences explaining the topic, and a conclusion.
