What to Focus On

  • Letters are a written means of business communication.
  • Letters widen contacts and help business operations spread to different places.
  • Letters provide record, reference, and documentary proof.
  • Memo is short for memorandum.
  • A memo is used only for internal communication.
  • A memo is never sent outside the organisation.
  • Telephone is an oral method of communication.
  • It is useful for urgent information, appointments, and establishing contacts.
  • Telephone saves time by providing immediate contact.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A memo can be sent to anyone, inside or outside the organisation, just like a letter.

A notice and a memo mean the same thing because both are used inside an organisation.

Telephone communication gives a permanent written record, so it is as useful for legal proof as a letter.
