The 21st day of May is celebrated as National Memo Day. ‘Memo’ is the abbreviation for ‘memorandum’, which is a written document or other communication that is intended to inform a group of people about a particular topic. Memos are used for many different purposes and are most often used in the workplace.
These missives have a reputation for slipping into the wrong hands, which, in the modern world, means that they are often shared infinitely on social media.
When the messages contain proprietary business information, state secrets or passionate opinions, memos are usually best kept out of print.
Use #NationalMemoDay to post on social media.
