Group Project Overview

Write a memorandum concerning a project outline for the Assistant Commissioner describing how the grant money will be allocated and what the goals are that you hope to achieve. The memorandum or memo is one of the most common forms of internal communication within an organization. It has established itself as a quick way to convey information informally. They are not as detailed or as lengthy as a normal report and generally summarize a topic in three or four paragraphs. When a more lengthy explanation is needed they simply make a reference to the other document. They will consist of a heading and body there is no signature line because the “From” line in the heading serves this purpose.
