On May 21st every year, we recognize National Memo Day. Short for Memorandum, a memo is a document or other means of communication to pass information to a group of people.
The National Memo day was first celebrated in 1989 by KMJ1 Magic Radio in Denver, Colorado. Memorandum is a Latin word meaning it must be remembered. And the purpose of National Memo Day is to raise awareness about the memos used by people.
Memos are used to convey messages and plans. Today, memos are frequently used in business to share information related to meetings, policy changes, and contracts. Memos are short with different formats and templates that typically start with ‘memo’ as the heading.
1. I heard professional boxers are among the highest-paid people in the world.
Apparently, my bosses at Amazon didn’t get the memo.
2. Did you know they made a movie about a notepad that lost its notes?
It was called Finding Memo
3. Can secretaries really write memos with both their left and right hands at the same time?
Or is that just stereotyping.
4. An older man hires a guy every fall and his only job is to use my leaf blower and get the leaves out of my yard.
He only pays in checks though. Just so he may write “thanks for the blow” on the memo line.
5. A wife got this letter from Walmart.
Dear Mrs. Samples:
